Old Photograph Killantringan Lighthouse Scotland
Old photograph of Killantringan lighthouse located on the coast two miles North West of Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This Scottish lighthouse was built in 1900 by David A Stevenson. MV Craigantlet, a German owned, Cyprus registered container ship, ran aground on 26 February 1982 at Killantringan Lighthouse in Portamaggie Bay, Wigtownshire in southwestern Scotland. The 800 ton cargo ship was bound to Liverpool from Belfast at the time. The lighthouse keeper raised the alarm, and Craigantlet's crew was rescued via airlift by a Sea King from 819 Squadron based at the stone frigate HMS Gannet at Glasgow Prestwick International Airport.
