The Calf of Man lighthouses

The amazing and ingenious reason for there being two lighthouses on the Calf of Man...
Built in 1818, the lights of the upper and lower lighthouses lined up exactly at the point of Chicken's Rock, therefore allowing ships to avoid the spot where many had foundered.
However, by 1874 they were able to defy expectations and build a lighthouse on the Chicken's Rock itself, making the two older lighthouses redundant.

This is one film in a series made with David Fisher on the Calf of Man in 2018.
