Lighthouses are erected here, and on the other numerous dangerous spots of the coast, and their lights shine all around in the dark night.

Some of the lights are movable, and some stationary, and point out to the sailor which places to avoid.
August 20th.
Bad weather is one of the greatest torments of a traveller, and is more disagreeable when one passes through districts remarkable for beauty and originality.

Both grievances were united to-day; it rained, almost incessantly; and yet the passage of the Swedish coast and of the little fiord to the port of Gottenburg was of peculiar interest.

The sea here was more like a broad stream which is bounded by noble rocks, and interspersed by small and large rocks and shoals, over which the waters dashed finely.

Near the harbour, some buildings lie partly on and partly between the rocks; these contain the celebrated royal Swedish iron-foundry, called the new foundry.
