controlled weather station and because it is a lighthouse.

The lighthouse was erected in 1885 by the Russians, who then ruled Finland. Early records are quite difficult to come by and are written in the Russian language. Wooden barracks were constructed on the reef for the workmen who were to build the light. They began to lay its foundation from the rock quarried on the site. A tremendous storm swept away the barracks and the portion of the foundation that had been completed. Three men were lost to the angry sea. After this disaster, plans were revised and stone for the new foundation was quarried and cut to proper size in the Helsinki area and ferried to Market Reef ready to be set into place. The work crews slept aboard a ship anchored nearby and ferried to and from the construction site daily. Work was completed in a year.

During ensuing years two additional buildings were added and connected to the lighthouse by an elevated catwalk some 15 feet in the air. Access to the catwalk is via a series of iron rungs set in the wall of the furthest building or by a steel ladder at the lighthouse end. The middle building is the power generation site for the complex
