Kuorsalo Range Rear Lighthouse

The Kuorsalo Range Rear light was a skeletal tower standing 25 meters tall. It guided eastbound vessels along a northeast reach of the inside passage near Hamina. This rear light worked in conjunction with a front light to establish a range for navigation. The light became inactive in 2023, likely deactivated when the front light was updated to a directional system. It is presumed to have been removed following its deactivation.

Why it matters: Its deactivation reflects a trend in maritime navigation where traditional range lights are being superseded by more precise directional lights.
