About Lehmä Lighthouse
Also known as: Lehmä (Viikari Range Rear)
A 25-meter square skeletal steel tower stands on Lehmäsaari, an island southeast of Kotka, Finland. This structure supports a rectangular daymark painted red with a yellow vertical stripe. Its light, situated 37 meters above sea level, emits an occulting white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 16.6 nautical miles. The lighthouse guides vessels approaching Kotka from the west, keeping them parallel to the coast. It was dropped from the Admiralty list but remains on the 2024 Finnish list.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into Kotka, specifically guiding vessels approaching from the west along the coast.
