When the light goes out - book

When the light goes out -  a collection of Irish lighthouse fatalities Peter Goulding ISBN 978-1-4717-7888-9 224pp  80,800 words Published by Lulu This book stems from my blog irishlighthouses.blogspot.com. It tells the human story of tragic Irish lightkeeping events down the years, many long-forgotten or only vaguely remembered. Arranged chronologically, the book forms a history of sorts of the lightkeeping profession. It also sheds a light on some of the less well-known lighthouses around the country, some of them no longer with us. There are two versions of this book, a colour version and a black-and-white. The text is the same in each. Only the photographs differ. For a list of contents, please see here
