FI 14 Laitakari
One of several historic daybeacons in service in northern Finland, this tower replaced older beacons placed on the island as early as the 1750s. When aligned with the belfry of the Oulu Cathedral the daybeacon guides vessels towards a range leading past the northern coast of Hailuoto island. Located on the small gravel island of Laitakari, approx 5 km east of the easternmost tip of Hailuoto and 16 km west of Oulu. (C 4460.6)
