EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the enduring allure of The Day Mark, a historic beacon located on the Isles of Scilly, off the southwestern coast of England. Dated back to around 1700, this circular tower stands proudly as the earliest surviving dated example of a beacon in the British Isles, making it an invaluable piece of maritime history. Listed as a Scheduled Monument by Historic England, The Day Mark beacon is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of those who built it. Its distinctive white stripes, contrasting against the deep red bands, serve as a beacon of guidance for seafarers navigating the treacherous waters surrounding the Isles of Scilly. The Day Mark's circular design is not only visually captivating but also functional. The tower's symmetrical shape ensures that the beacon's light is evenly distributed, making it easily recognizable to sailors from a great distance. Bernard Stradling, a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, captured this image of The Day Mark in all its glory. His expert use of light and composition highlights the beacon's unique character and the raw beauty of its isolated location. Despite its age, The Day Mark remains an active navigational aid, continuing to provide essential guidance to mariners traversing the waters of the English Channel. This enduring symbol of maritime history serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of the Isles of Scilly and the vital role that beacons played in shaping the maritime landscape of the British Isles.
