Mariehamn'daki Denizcilik Müzeleri

Maritime Heritage

Mariehamn served as the home port for the world’s last great fleet of commercial sailing ships under shipowner Gustaf Erikson. This collection explores that legacy through the Pommern, a remarkably preserved four-masted barque, and the Åland Maritime Museum’s extensive collection of figureheads and nautical instruments. The Sjökvarteret (Maritime Quarter) provides a living history of traditional wooden boatbuilding, while smaller specialized museums document the evolution of marine engines and early 20th-century merchant life in the archipelago.
