THE GALLERY: Historic lightship scrapped by Swedes
It has been in the harbor with its light turned off since the mid-1970s. But now it's over, the lightship 'Fladen' is currently being scrapped by the Swedish company Drive Entreprenad.
The final image of the lightship in its entirety. Shortly after this photo was taken, the cutting torch was ignited and the ship was methodically dismantled piece by piece.

The lighthouse itself was carefully cut away from its base and transported elsewhere. This part of the ship will continue to live on.
