Date made: 24 September 1863

Description: "The town of Ramsey is most romantically situated; though small and irregular, it contains two principal streets, with a number of neat straggling ones that lead to them…Near the parade and quay is a large stone lighthouse, which is every night illuminated, to guide the wearied mariner safe into harbour." (David Robertson, A Tour Through The Isle of Man, 1794, M 01360)
