Die for Cruise Lamp, Mahee Island: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a close-up view of an intriguing detail on Mahee Island, County Down, Northern Ireland. The image reveals a quaint and mysterious place where a lamp once belonged, nestled into the ancient stone wall of an old church. Mahee Island, located in the Carlingford Lough, is steeped in history and folklore. This enchanting scene adds to the rich tapestry of stories that have been passed down through generations. The Die for Cruise Lamp, as it came to be known, is said to have been a beacon of hope for sailors navigating the treacherous waters surrounding the island. The old church, with its worn and weathered walls, stands as a silent witness to the passage of time. Its history intertwined with that of the island and the community that once called it home. The lamp, now long gone, serves as a reminder of the connection between the people and the sea. This photograph, from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the stories that unfolded within the walls of the old church and the lives of those who lived on Mahee Island during the early 1900s. The Die for Cruise Lamp, a testament to the past, continues to cast its spell, inspiring curiosity and wonder.
