The rise of see level can be seen pretty clearly in photo no. 6.

You can't be sure that isn't just because the tide is higher. The land now covered by water looked like tideland in the older picture as well.

It's almost certainly the tide. I'm familiar with the area around Torghatten. The high tide/low tide difference there can be ~2 meters, more than enough to explain all the variation in sealevel.
