Liner Notes


1. Light first radiated at this site in 1520, from a small tower built on the site of the already existing Franciscan convent.
2. Light ... emanating from a convent.
3. Sitting on the southwestern point of Portugal, this light has provided guidance to millions of sailors heading south past the corner of Europe, through the Straits of Gibraltor and into the Mediterranean Sea.
4. An improved tower was built in 1557 ...
5. ... only to be destroyed by Sir Francis Drake in 1587 ...
6. ... but faithfully restored in 1606.
7. At one time one of the 10 brightest lighthouses in the world.
8. Current rotation: 15 seconds.
9. Current outreach: 33 miles.
10. An earthquake in 1755 caused the convent to be abandoned. The sacred relics of St. Vincent and Francis Xavier were moved to the church of Nossa Senhora da Graça in Sagres.
11. Computational support from Digital Equipment Corporation.

You sailed around Cape Saint Vincent?

We are ships in the night.
For me, they breathe to life the dying embers of transcendent Hope.
