Night time view of The Great Light in Belfast

Source: Belfast’s offering as a maritime heritage destination has been given a major boost today as two iconic attractions - the Great Light and Titanic Walkway – officially opened to the public in Titanic Quarter. ... The Great Light gave Mew Island Lighthouse on the Copeland Islands its traditional revolving light and guided mariners to and from Belfast Lough until 2014.
