The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Irish Lighthouses in World War II: Blacksod Lighthouse

Blackrock Mayo Lighthouse sustained gunfire during World War II.  A German plane attacked the SS Macville in deep water near the lighthouse.

Stray bullets shattered panes in the lighthouse, but the keepers were unhurt.
