About Bussøy Lighthouse
Also known as: Bussøy (?)
Bussøy lighthouse was an 8.5-meter cylindrical tower painted white with a red roof, mounted on a pile-supported platform. It stood on a skerry off the northwestern tip of Hitra in Norway's Trøndelag region. The focal height of its red light was 10 meters, providing an isophase red signal. The lighthouse had a geographic range of 5 nautical miles. It began its operational life at an unknown date and ceased functioning in 2020, with indications suggesting its probable removal. The site remains accessible, but the tower is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was essential for marking a specific hazard in the intricate coastal waters off Hitra, aiding local fishing boats and other maritime traffic.
