Entisaikojen merenkävijät kaiversivat puumerkkinsä tai aatelisvaakunansa Hauensuolen kallioihin, "saariston vieraskirjaan", parempaa purjehdussäätä odottaessaan. Vanhimmat piirrokset ovat 1400-luvulta. Alue on suojeltu muinaismuistolailla ja ehdolla Unescon maailmanperintökohteiden joukkoon. Tullisaari, Hanko.
