Pölis arrives at the Vasikkasaari by sailing boat from northern side of island. Vasikkasaari was a military island from early 1800 to 1962 however there've been people's summer cottages since 50's at northern half of island. Before cottages whole island have been military fuel storage, which have almost been demolished by explosive fire in 1918. After that army fixed one oiltank and pumpstation which survived somehow, island was again fuel storage but in smaller scale. At the 1962 goverment decided that they'd sell the island to the city of Helsinki, nowadays it's a cabin and hiking area. More information about island in finnish at www.vasikkasaari.org .
Old barracks, maybe from 1800's
Hopping up steps of main door to barracks
A nice view to rosebush from barrack's window.
Possibly the oldest beacon in Finland. And possibly only round beacon in the whole country.
The only oiltank that survived from 1918 fire is now used as theater of summer vacationers of island
