EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome to the Dawn of a New Era: The Arrival of The Keepers at Wolf Rock Lighthouse, January 1870 This enchanting engraving captures a pivotal moment in the history of Wolf Rock Lighthouse, situated 8 miles off the coast of Lands End, Cornwall. The image, dated January 1870, depicts the arrival of the first lighthouse keepers at their new post. The lighthouse, designed by James Douglass between 1862 and 1870, was an engineering marvel of its time. The lighthouse, a vital addition to maritime safety, was built to withstand the harsh conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. The keepers, dressed in their traditional uniforms, are seen disembarking from a small boat, bringing with them the promise of safety and guidance to the countless ships that would navigate the treacherous waters around Wolf Rock. The brand new lighthouse, with its distinctive red and white stripes, stands proudly in the background, a beacon of hope for sailors and fishermen alike. The arrival of the keepers marked the beginning of a new era, where the lighthouse would serve as a constant guardian, guiding ships safely to their destinations and protecting them from the perils of the sea. This engraving is a testament to the rich maritime history of Cornwall and the crucial role that lighthouses played in shaping the seafaring industry. The arrival of the keepers at Wolf Rock Lighthouse is a moment frozen in time, a moment that continues to inspire awe and admiration for the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to the service of others.
