Tuskar Rock
Tuskar Rock
Tuskar Rock Lighthouse, completed in 1815, is located off the southeast coast of County Wexford. Built on a group of rocks named Tuskar Rock, from the Old Norse language meaning large (tu) rock (skar). It’s infamous for the number of shipwrecks that occurred in its surrounding waters, including the Aer Lingus flight crash in 1968. The third lighthouse in Ireland to be electrified, Tuskar Rock has long been a vital marker for vessels navigating this perilous stretch of the Irish Sea.
