MUSEUM OF THE SEA POMMERN

This fully renovated museum traces Åland's maritime history. Beautiful figureheads and model ships. Visit the magnificent sailing ship Pommern, a superb four-master with 29 sails. Built in Scotland by a German company, she first sailed in 1903. She was purchased in 1923 by Gustaf Erikson in Mariehamn. During the Second World War, the yacht sailed between England and Australia before returning here. One of the largest sailing ships in the world, it is now moored in the West Harbour and converted into a museum.
