Mail buoy in Törehamn

The mail buoy stands as a red and white marker in the waters of Törehamn, combining the functions of a letter box and navigational aid.

The mail buoy reflects the maritime postal system established in coastal Sweden, facilitating communication between seafarers and mainland residents during the 20th century.

This dual-purpose structure represents the connection between maritime traditions and postal services in the Kalix Municipality's coastal communities.

Located near the sheltered lagoon of Kohamn, the buoy remains accessible to boats throughout the year, with specific approach routes marked for safety.

The mail buoy integrates into the network of 792 islands within the Kalix archipelago, serving both postal and navigational purposes for local maritime traffic.
