Light Hearted ep 307 – Peter Halil, UK lighthouse keeper, part 2 of 2

Peter Halil and his wife, Isla This is part two of a two-part interview. Peter Halil was a lighthouse keeper in the UK from 1974 to 1997, and he was among the last traditional lighthouse keepers there before all the lights were automated. Peter Halil was keeper at South Stack Light Station in Wales 1980-83. USLHS archives. He also shot video at as many lighthouses as possible before they were automated. His videos sometimes include footage of the keepers at work, and, when possible, interviews with keepers. He’s posted the videos on his YouTube channel, which you can access at youtube.com/@PeterHalil. The U.S. Lighthouse Society thanks Peter for being a lighthouse for all of us who strive to preserve maritime history. St. Catherines in Wales is one of the places where Peter Halil served as keeper (1976-80).USLHS photo by Joyce Dixon.
