Åland's identity is defined by the Baltic Sea, serving as a historic hub for windjammers and maritime trade. This collection features the Pommern, the world’s only four-masted barque preserved in its original state, alongside the Åland Maritime Museum’s extensive collection of figureheads and nautical instruments. Explore the Russian Imperial history at Eckerö Post House, the ruins of Bomarsund fortress, and traditional pilot stations. These sites document the transition from sail to steam and the daily lives of Åland’s sailors and shipowners.
