Lighthouse of the Week, February 2-8, 2020: Mohni, Estonia

Returning to Estonia this week for another lighthouse;  this one is on the island of Mohni.  Mohni is a small island in the Gulf of Finland (Estonian side), east of Tallinn, the capital.

It must not be too difficult to get there;  there are a lot of pictures of this one.   First, though, let's learn more about it, with information I lazily gathered from the remarkable Lighthouse Directory.

"1852 (rebuilt 1871; station established 1806). Active; focal plane 33 m (108 ft); white light, 4 s on, 16 s off. 27 m (89 ft) round brick tower with lantern and gallery. The tower is unpainted red brick; lantern painted red. The lighthouse was increased in height by about 8 m (26 ft) in 1871, when the present lantern was also installed.

Mohni is a small island off Cape Purekkari, about 5 km (3 mi) northeast of Vilnistu on the Pärispea peninsula. Although it is included within the borders of Lahemaa National Park, it is privately owned."

So below are four pictures and a stamp.
