Strömmingsbådan lighthouse

The Strömmingsbådan lighthouse rises 12 meters above sea level, featuring a navigation light that emits four flashes every twenty seconds in white and red colors.

Built in 1885, this steel structure serves as a vital navigation aid in the Kvarken archipelago, assisting maritime traffic through the challenging northern waters of Finland.

The lighthouse belongs to the Merenkurkun saariston majakka- ja luotsisaaret collection of maritime structures, representing Finland's commitment to safe seafaring practices.

Located at coordinates 62.979361 latitude and 20.739417 longitude, the lighthouse remains active and requires boat transportation for access due to its offshore position.

The steel construction of Strömmingsbådan differs from traditional brick or stone lighthouses, demonstrating late 19th-century industrial engineering methods in maritime architecture.
