Raumo lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse on the west coast of Rauma, Finland
Description
Raumo lighthouse is a 22.4 meter steel structure standing on the west coast of Rauma facing the Bothnian Sea. The tower transmits white, red, and green flashing lights to guide vessels navigating the coastal waters.
History
The lighthouse was built in 1981 to serve the navigation needs of vessels approaching Rauma's harbor. Since its completion, it has been a key aid for maritime safety in the region.
Culture
The lighthouse is a landmark of Rauma's seafaring heritage and represents the maritime traditions that shaped the town's identity. It serves as a visual reminder of when this place was a thriving port for sailing vessels.
Practical
The lighthouse beam can be seen up to 8.5 nautical miles away and is supported by a racon signal system that helps vessels determine their location. The structure is easily visible from the coastal area and serves as a clear landmark for orientation.
Did you know?
The light sequence was modernized in June 2018 to use a double white flash pattern repeating every ten seconds. This upgrade made the signal easier to recognize for modern navigation systems.
