About Hamnklabbshällan Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1947, stands 9 meters tall with a focal height of 8 meters. It is painted white with a distinctive green horizontal band around its cylindrical structure, which also includes a lantern and gallery. The light emits two white, red, or green flashes every six seconds, providing sector-specific guidance. Located about 1.5 kilometers east of the Bussgrund lighthouse in Kalmar County, Sweden, its geographic range extends to 9.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to visitors.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's sectored light system is essential for local fishing and shipping traffic navigating the intricate archipelago east of Västervik. Its continuous operation since 1947 highlights its enduring role in maintaining maritime safety in this area.
