Places to visit Mariehamn

- The Pommern (earlier name Mneme) -  is a windjammer turned into a museum ship. She is a four masted barque that was built 1903 in Glasgow. She is one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. Later she belonged to Gustaf Erikson (Åland) who used her to carry grain from Spencer Gulf area in Australia to harbours in England or Ireland until the start of World War II.
- The Åland Maritime Museum - preserves memories of the sailing-ships, one of its exhibits being the red-brown captain’s saloon from the four masted barque Hertzogen Cecilie, one of Gustaf Erikson’s ships. She ran aground off the coast of England in 1936 and before she sank her saloon was salvaged and brought to Åland.
- Boat building traditions are kept alive at the Maritime Quarter in the Eastern Harbour. Among the red sheds there is a boatyard and a smithy as well as a boat and shipbuilding museum. Several small ships have been built there, including the galleass Albanus and the schooner Linden.
- The Åland Museum - exhibits the history of Åland from prehistoric times up to the present day. The Åland Art Museum displays pictures by both old and young Åland artists and the Mariehamn Gallery at the Western Harbour has a model of Mariehamn in the 1920s with its wooden houses.

about Mariehamn

A youthful town, Mariehamn was founded in 1861 while Åland and Finland formed part of the mighty Russian Empire.

Maria, consort of Tsar Alexander II of Russia gave the town her name.

Mariehamn grew up round the farming village of Övernäs, situated on a peninsula.

The harbours built in sheltered bays came to be of great importance. The streets of Mariehamn are wide and straight.

Housing sites were large from the beginning, but today they have been divided to provide space for several houses.

A distinctive feature is the Esplanade, an avenue of lime trees stretching from west to east, from harbour to harbour.
