BLACK SAILBOAT SIGYN AND SUOMEN JOUTSEN
The only remaining oak and pine sail cargo ship from the French shipyards at Saint-Nazaire in 1902, a must-see!
The black sailing ship, the Sigyn, launched in 1887 in Gothenburg, was bought by Finland in 1927. It is the only cargo ship with wooden sails (oak and pine) still in existence. Other ships are to be seen, such as the Suomen Joutsen (literally the "Swan of Finland"). This ship came out in 1902 from the French shipyards of Saint-Nazaire under the name of Laennec. After having circumnavigated the world 9 times, she was used as a training ship for future sailors.
