Det lilla gula huset vid havet - a photo on Flickriver

            The little yellow house by the sea
Torekov, Skåne

"The pilots
The well-known yellow house has stood on its cliff since 1878. Inside here, the pilot stood ready to help boats that would get past the dangerous waters near Halland's Väderö. From here, the pilots could keep track of what was happening at sea on a stretch from Tylön in Halland to Kullen in Skåne.

During the day, the ships used flags to show the pilot that they needed help. At night, they flashed lights instead. When the pilot received the message, he and some men set off for the waiting ship. Once on board, the pilots were able to ensure that the ships escaped all the dangers that lurked in the waters. In the mid-1930s, pilotage operations in Torekov ceased.

The small house became an artist's studio and museum. The Maritime Museum in Torekov has owned the Lotsutkiken since 1959. Today, the house is a well-known Torekov symbol, which can be seen, for example, at the Tourist Office, where tourists are very happy to buy small models of the Lotsutkiken."
