What is recorded here

Oyster Island is a long thin islet at the mouth of Sligo Harbour, marked by a twelve-metre lighthouse that still cuts through Atlantic fog. It is the first land seen by boats leaving Sligo town, a narrow ribbon of rock and grass stretching across the entrance like a warning or an invitation. The light has watched storms, trade winds and small fishing crews for generations, guiding them past the Needles Channel and into the harbour.
