Longhope, Orkney history
A coastal artillery battery, Hackness Gun Battery, was established near Longhope at ND338912 to defend gathering Baltic convoys from enemy attack. It was built between 1813 and 1815 in response to a perceived threat from American privateers. Eight 24-pounder guns were placed in the original battery, but were replaced in 1866.
Lifeboats
An RNLI lifeboat has been stationed at Longhope since 1874. On 17 March 1969 the station suffered one of the worst tragedies in British lifeboat history when its 47-ft wooden lifeboat, T.G.B., capsized with the loss of all eight crew.
