Peter I ordered the island marked as early as 1718, and by 1723 a shipmaster named Fantetsin had built a crude open fire beacon on the island's northern height, later joined by a lower shoreline beacon; both burned firewood and coal hauled up by hand until proper lamp-and-reflector towers replaced them in 1807, with a Fresnel apparatus added in 1861. The southern light followed later, established in 1861 after decades of debate, rebuilt as a 22-meter brick tower in 1906. Both stations suffered heavy damage in World War II — the island changed hands between Finland and the USSR and saw fierce fighting during the 1941 evacuation of Hanko — and were rebuilt afterward, the North light now a red-and-white striped cast-iron tower (1965) visible up to 26 miles and the South a light visible to 10 miles. The island's lights witnessed the icebreaker Yermak's first Baltic crossing in 1899, early tests of Popov's rescue radio in 1901, and the 1918 Ice Voyage of the Baltic Fleet, and lighthouse keepers repeatedly risked their lives in dramatic sea rescues, including the 1860 wreck of the British bark Fanny.
