After becoming obsolete in 1933, the lightship was stripped and converted into accommodation ship MKH 4. While being towed from Vaasa to Kristinestad on 20 May 1954, the vessel hit a rock and sank near the island of Bergö. She was raised shortly afterwards, but left on the shore until 1955 when she was towed to Turku for scrapping. [4]

She remained in this location until 1956 when the new lighthouse was built to replace her. Afterwards, she served as a storage barge for the Finnish Board of Navigation until the 1970s. After her superstructure was demolished, she was used to transport sand for a few years before being broken up in Hamina.
Relandersgrund (1884–??)Quarken (??–1920s)Snipan (1920s–1944)1885Lightship69LostThis iron-hulled lightship, delivered as Relandersgrund but later renamed Quarken, was the second lightship to bear the latter name. She was stationed at Snipan shallows in Kvarken. Later, the ship became known by this name and she was officially renamed Snipan in the late 1920s. In December 1944, while heading for Vaasa for drydocking, the vessel ran aground in a snowstorm and sank.
Helsingkallan (1885–1933)Varamajakka I (1933–1945)Snipan (1945–present?)1885Lightship70LostHelsingkallan was stationed in the Bothnian Bay, at shallows after which she had been named. In 1933, she was replaced by a light buoy and renamed Varamajakka I (Reserve light I). In 1945, she replaced her identical sister vessel Snipan that had sunk in December 1944 and given her name. Snipan was finally decommissioned in 1960 after the Utgrynnan lighthouse was built. After decommissioning, the old lightship was sold to a private owner who converted her into a trawler. Later, she was rebuilt as a pleasure boat., she remains partially submerged in near the island of Luonnonmaa in Naantali.[5]

She participated in the First World War, during which she was hit twice by 150mm shells from German cruisers. Unlike her sisters which were sunk or scrapped, Sibirskiy Strelok underwent refurbishment and disarming in 1923–1925 and became a tugboat named Konstruktor. After spending the Interwar period as a test platform for new weapon systems, she was refurbished as a patrol boat in August 1941. In November, she was hit by a 250kg bomb from a Finnish or German aircraft. The explosion killed 200 crew and evacuees, and the vessel was grounded in the shallows. She was later further damaged by a storm that broke her in two. A replacement bow, some 5m (16feet) shorter, was built and Konstruktor was transferred to the Ladoga Flotilla in April 1943. After the war, the ship was disarmed and used as an experimental vessel. In 1956, she was reclassified as a heating barge and renamed OT-29, only to be struck and scrapped in the following year.
