Location DB > Finland > Western Finland > Korppoo > Utö > I/05 > 25.jpg 25 / 25   25.jpg Description A small shelter next to the lighthouse. On the right side, not visible in the picture, are remains of a Swedish cargo ship, Torsholm, that wrecked there in the 50s. Almost nothing remains, thanks to someone who thought he could get some money off it as scrap metal in the 70s. What else... there's the officers' beach sauna which we also tried *cough* and a hall that was used to shelter bodies recovered after the car ferry Estonia sank some 40 miles south of the island.

It's a popular diving site, one of the largest divable shipwrecks in Finland. One of our jobs was to keep an eye on it in case of unauthorized diving. The seas around the island are littered with wrecks. Posted by IIVQ 10/20/2008 9:07 PM | remove   Love this gallery! Posted by IIVQ 11/6/2008 9:45 PM | remove   Question: how did you shoot the "main" picture for this location? The stars show a long exposure however the land doesn't look like a "night" shot at all? Filters? Posted by Tupsumato 11/7/2008 10:27 AM | remove   9-12 min exposure. Posted by IIVQ 11/12/2008 12:44 PM | remove   but during day (with a filter or extremely low-sensitivity film or pinhole camera) or during night? Posted by Tupsumato 11/13/2008 8:34 AM | remove   If I recall correctly, I took those pictures while being in the watch between midnight and 3 am. Posted by IIVQ 11/26/2008 12:53 PM | remove   ok, cool. They look so daylight-y. May be the total absence of innatural light. Posted by Blackbird 11/28/2008 1:35 AM | remove   This shelter looks like a motar pit. Posted by Tupsumato 11/28/2008 11:29 AM | remove   Too small for a mortar. Posted by Blackbird 12/2/2008 1:15 AM | remove   Yeah, that's true. So it would have just been a hole to hide in for one soldier? Posted by Tupsumato 12/2/2008 6:54 AM | remove   Probably. There might've been a cover. Posted by TRgirl 12/11/2009 2:38 PM | remove   Wonderful gallery and historical info - thanks. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
