No light was exhibited here
two hours after sunset in mid-May 2010. What appears to be a lantern is fixed to the top of a red metal post 3m on the outer face of the fish-farm (see upper image). This is in the position (HU33554737) shown on the chart. The Admiralty List (which gives the name Seli Voe, not used by the Ordnance Survey) simply lists the lantern as at the pier, with no other indications. What may have been a 3m post carrying a lantern on the NW corner of the pier is now uprooted (see lower image) in front of a derelict crane (HU33804742) both images LR3; EX467(E); CH3294 |
