Ålands Sjöfartsmuseum TEMPORARY CLOSED 2010
Australia, Cape Horn and stormy seas!
Feel the atmosphere walking on a half-deck with the wind in your back during a westerly half-gale. The figureheads from past time ships all have a different story to tell. Shipwreck, storms or an inglorious rejection end. Here are ship paintings from a time when the ships looked like ships and every captain ordered a portrait from the local artist, be it in Hull, Antwerp or Hong Kong. One of the most skilful model builders has built most models in our museum.
Åland Maritime Museum is closed due to renovation 2010 and 2011
