The text of this article matches the TV program and not the book which goes into greater detail regarding the lighthouse. Much of it is therefore incorrect as it relates the artistic licence which
Deborah Cadbury herself admits she had to use in many of the episodes, and not the facts as presented in
658:
The article states "Much to their displeasure, Stevenson requested, in order for the lighthouse to be completed in time and on budget, that they work on the
Sabbath. Despite Stevenson's insistence that they were doing the Lord's work, most of the men refused on the grounds that such an action would
714:
Well you can get it by clicking on the coordinates: the Open Street Map version does at least show the rock whereas Google and Bing just show open sea. There is a map in
Stevenson's 1824 account which also shows the Isle of May and Carr Rock beacons. But the print is very small so a thumbnail will
520:
I doubt whether it is really true that the Bell Rock
Lighthouse is indeed the oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse. The 17th century Phare de Corduan in the Gironde mouth, France, is definitely older, it may only be questioned if it qualifies as "sea-washed" since it is surrounded by a small

I've added a pushpin map to show the offshore location to see what that looks like (it can be easily removed). The pushpin map only allows one location, and makes the infobox quite long. The alternative is to have a separate map outside the box, showing the lighthouse and other

prepared to work on a Sunday. "The sailors, from their habits, found no scruple on this subject, and all of the artificers, though a little tardy, also embarked, excepting four of the masons, who, from the beginning, mentioned that they would decline working on
Sundays"
465:
While the account of the helicopter accident is interesting, it is far too long and not written in encyclopaedic style and has no references. It is as long as the balance of the article. It should be re-writted in a more concisely in a style matching the rest of the
752:
So the date of automation is 1988 in the text but says 1998 in the side bar on the right under 'automated' but... it's 1988 if i click 'edit' in both... what on earth is happening and is this happening for other people? It's 1998 for me if i view source as well.
524:
Well I'm not certain about this anymore given what you've written above, but I've always been under the impression that the Bell Rock lighthouse was the first sea-washed lighthouse built. Certainly that's what I've read and heard in documentaries.
662:
According to R L Stevenson's
Records of a Family of Engineers,Chapter 3, which is, apparently, taken from Robert Stevenson's diary account of the construction,that while there was some reluctance at first the majority of workers
539:
Smeaton's Tower is the third and most notable
Eddystone Lighthouse, in use 1759 to 1877, a stump still existing on the spot. I do not know if that makes it a "surviving sea-washed lighthouse"? The upper part is saved on land!
698:
It would be useful if there was a map showing where the tower was (like the map of
Eddystone Lighthouse, but with location shown). Anyone who knows how to find a map in public domain or who can make simple map?
448:
Paragraphs 3&4 in the summary may need rearranging - it's pointless mentioning
Stevenson in p3 before he's been properly introduced ("a Scottish engineer, Robert Stevenson", complete with link) in p4.

episode on the Bell Rock
Lighthouse. It lacks citations that verify the material. I'm not sure how historically accurate the BBC show was, but a TV dramatisation is hardly a reliable source.
761:
I find the play-by-play description of the construction section to be without purpose. Just because someone wrote it down doesn't mean it should be copied into the wiki. The poor horse.
