Pommern
A four-masted steel-hulled sailing ship built in 1903, which once sailed the grain route to Australia. It is one of the best-preserved sailing ships of its kind in the world.
The Pommern was built in Glasgow in 1903. It later belonged to the fleet of Gustaf Erikson, the shipping magnate of Mariehamn, and took part in the 'grain race' sailing between Australia and Europe. In 1953 it was donated to Mariehamn and moored at West Harbour as a museum ship. On board, you can see the deck, the crew quarters, the galley and the captain's cabin, almost exactly as they were in the old days. An audio guide describes life on board. It is usually open from May to September, and a combined ticket is available with the neighbouring Åland Maritime Museum.
Opening hours
