Fleetwood Lighthouses

12th May 2008. The two inland lighthouses at the end of the channel leading from the Irish Sea to the Wyre Estuary. The trick is to position your ship so the the taller lighthouse (in the distance which looks smaller in the photograph) is directly above the shorter lighthouse in the foreground. 

Then you are in the middle of the channel and won't hit the sand banks. Fleetwood is the only place in the British Isles with three lighthouses, the two in the photo and 'The Wyre Light' which is out at sea and looks like a wreck. 

To the right is the Nautical Training Department of the Blackpool and Fylde college. Behind that is The North Euston Hotel. Named in expectation of the business from London to Ireland that would use the port. The business never came.
