You will see
a scale model of the Irish Lights Tender ISOLDA, which was bombed
and sunk by German aircraft on December 19, 1940 with a loss of
six men. The surviving crewmembers landed in Kilmore Quay in the
ship’s lifeboats. The eerie wreck lies South East of the
Saltees at a depth of 62 meters. The bow and stern sections are
relatively intact – with devastation amidships. A serving
dish with the Irish Lights crest may be seen in the display cabinet.
