Åland Maritime Museum
Getting around: On the harbor front in central Mariehamn, beside the museum ship Pommern.
Hours: Daily roughly 10:00-17:00 in summer; reduced days/hours in winter.
The Aland Maritime Museum covers the archipelago's seafaring history, focused on the era of commercial sailing ships that made Aland a maritime power into the 20th century — the last great grain ships to Australia departed here into the 1940s.
It pairs directly with the adjacent museum ship Pommern, a preserved four-masted barque, for both context and a physical vessel from the same era.
