This delightful film documents a trip by ferryboat to the Maidens lighthouse on the little island of Magee, Co Antrim, to deliver essential supplies to the lighthouse crew. Shortly after this movie was shot in 1976, the lighthouse became fully automated and the need for this service disappeared. The video was created by Roy Spence, an award-winning amateur filmmaker. For the past 50 years, Spence has been making and screening a series of remarkable and sometimes eccentric films in his cinema in Comber, Co.
