Longstone Lighthouse

  • Description

    Longstone Lighthouse, formerly known as Outer Farne Lighthouse. From here local heroine Grace Darling set off with her father, in a terrible storm, in a rowing boat to resue sailors of the SS Forfarshire that had been wrecked a mile away. This was in 1838. They saved 9 but 43 were drowned before they could get there. The storm abated two days later. The Farne Islands are a major bird and seal sanctuary now. http://bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=4805186167&size=large" >View On Black
