Hoppa till innehåll HÄLLGRUND DAYMARK 200 YEARS * Welcome! * HÄLLGRUND DAYMARK 200 YEARS * 1. The old harbour and the tectonic uplift * 2. Fishing and Life on the Island * 3. The Daymark and the Pilots WELCOME! As early as the 16th century the ”Torsö udde” was mentioned as the most important fishing area in this taxation area. A couple centuries later the fisherman Nils Pentzin settles on Hällgrund. The Soklothällan and Hällgrund islands are separate, united by a bridge of stone. The current daymark in red and white colours, which was built in 1824, likely replaced an old, disrepaired daymark from the late 17th century. From the early 1770s the Soklothällan also functioned as a pilot station. In general, the pilots were local men and the piloting formally ended in 1954. However, commercial fishing continues on the island to this day. PHOTO EXHIBITION AT SOKLOTHÄLLAN 1. The harbour and the land elevation 2. The fishing and life on the island 3.
