Metal Man

Metal Man

A 19th century navigation beacon which is located mid channel between Rosses Point and Oyster Island in Co. Sligo. It has an identical twin beacon in Tramore, County Waterford. Four casts were originally planned, with the whereabouts of the other two unknown.

There are many stories and anecdotes relating to the Metal Man. Some say he is the only Rosses Point man never to have told a lie. Others swear to have seen him come ashore to fetch a loaf of bread.
