Oulu No 1, Sector light tower in Haukipudas, Finland
Oulu No 1 is a lighthouse in Haukipudas with a white and steel-gray tower standing at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia. The structure guides ships through the waters and marks the key navigation points for safe passage into this region.
The tower was built in 1964 and served shipping as an important navigation aid until it was decommissioned on December 31, 2012. The structure reflects the maritime infrastructure of that era in Finland.
The structure represents a standard example of Finnish maritime engineering from the 1960s, reflecting the nation's commitment to safe sea navigation.
The tower is visible from the shoreline, but direct access to the structure requires advance coordination with local authorities. Visitors should come prepared with appropriate gear to safely observe this coastal landmark.
The beacon used colored light rays to guide ships through different water depths, with each color indicating a specific zone. This system allowed sailors to navigate safely without needing modern electronic instruments.
