Seen here on the afternoon of June 6, 2014 against the foreground of Giants Causeway pavement stones, Lacada Point is where on the morning of October 26, 1588 the Spanish galleass “La Girona” foundered and sank at Port na Spaniagh (the bay to the east of the point). Five souls of the 1,300 on board survived the wreck.

Our time at the Giants Causeway visitor center yielded this new fact. While it was only Pam who ventured close to the Lacada Point, the following day we were able to view the treasure recovered from the site 379 years later. A portion is on permanent display at the Ulster Museum, Belfast. We visited “Treasures from the Girona” the following day.

Lovely photos but for some reason, I cannot read the texts in full the photos are covering it.

There was a problem with Gallery object. It allows the viewer to click on photograph for a larger view. I switched to the single image object and that solved the problem for now.

Did not solve the problem because all blogs are affected. I did find a different result with browsers. Google Chrome (I use the latest update) has the problem. Microsoft Edge (I use the latest update) displays the blogs correctly. This might help you for now. I am communicating with support to resolve.
