Hävringe station was the next place to be marked for shipping
by Almagrundet
1952-1969
after
large-scale conversion work, Almagrundet became a combined pilot
vessel and lightship at Malmö Redd station, where she served
the National Board of Pilotage, Lighthouses and Buoys
1969
the
lightship ended her own service during a voilent storm a few weeks
before she was to be taken out of service: the anchor cable broke
and the vessel drifted towards land, because she had no engine of
her own. She was rescued in a major salvage operation and towed
to Malmö
1969-1989
as
a museum vessel in Malmö she was gently rocked towards oblivion.
The maintenance funds were inadequate and she began to fall into
disrepair
1989
sold to the
new owner, Mr. Knuth Borg of Swecox International AB, who took
the lightship for renovation to Bråvikens Shipyard in Nörrköping,
renamed to ALMAGRUNDET
Today
The lightship is in very good condition and can be found at the
Tullhus Pier in the inner harbour of Västerås in Sweden
