Fastnet Lighthouse

Fastnet Lighthouse is a 54m high lighthouse situated on the remote Fastnet Rock in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the most southerly point of Ireland and lies 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) southwest of Cape Clear Island and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from County Cork on the Irish mainland.

Fastnet Rock is used as the midpoint of one of the world's classic offshore yachting races, the Fastnet Race, a 1,126-kilometre (700 mi) round trip from Cowes on the Isle of Wight, around the rock and back to Plymouth.

This RNLI video about the Fastness race disaster of 1979 is quite good at the scale of the tragedy that occurred.

Fastnet Rock (by Fergal...) Fastnet Rock Another shot of Fastnet Rock. Fastnet Rock, or simply Fastnet (possibly from Old Norse: Hvasstann-ey meaning "sharp-tooth isle"; called Carraig Aonair, meaning "lonely rock", in Irish) is a small islet in the Atlantic Ocean and the most southerly point of Ireland. It lies 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) southwest of Cape Clear Island and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from County Cork on the Irish mainland. Due to its location, Fastnet was known as 'Ireland's Teardrop' because it was the last part of Ireland that Irish emigrants would see as they sailed to the United States in the 19th century.
