Stabben Lighthouse

Picture from 1927. Fancy living here ? The llighthouse is from outside Florø in Sogn & Fjordane.

The reason why the lighthouse was built was the dangerous and treacherous waters with extremely strong currents. This was most likely one of the most difficult navigational points along the Norwegian coastline, which is highly evident in the many ships that went down or ran aground, even after the lighthouse became operational.
