  • This is now along the Llyn Penisula up in North West Wales.
    St Tudwals Island was acetylene gas powered when I was a Keeper. It is now an LED type powered by solar power. This is a very pretty part of the World, well worth a visit.
    The Island is now privately owned, so no visits, but boat trips around it are from Abersoch, which is almost opposite.

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for another wonderful video of a lighthouse keeper's job. What a fantastic mechanism for changing the wick, how clever is that!!
    As I said before, my uncle was a lighthouse keeper at Langness lighthouse here on the IoM. As a young boy I would help him when he was on nights and loved the smell of lighthouses. It was through him that I have a love of lighthouses and lightships. How lucky you are to have had such a fantastic job as a Lighthouse Keeper!

    • @PeterHalil
      @PeterHalil  7 місяців тому

      Thank you very much. It's so nice when my videos trigger memories and more so when they are shared here. Yes, the smell of Lighthouses never leave you. Take care and stay safe.

    That Merion driving the boat isn’t it? His son still does the moorings in the bay Owi Lloyd Jones. I’m sure if you went to see him he would run you out to the island. He’s on face book.
