Mariebad

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 free-entrance boat and shipbuilding museum. Several small ships have been built here, including the galeas Albanus and the schooner Linden. Restaurant and a handicrafts shop. There is a small chapel by the sea open to visitors.

This impressive museum preserves memories of the sailing ships, one of its exhibits being the captain’s saloon from the famous four-masted barque Herzogin Cecilie. She was built as cargo-carrying sail training ship for Germany, bought by Gustaf Erikson after World War II and used by him for the Australian grain trade. She ran aground off the coast of England in 1936; her saloon was salvaged and brought to Åland. You will also see all sorts of ship paraphernalia from sextants to sails, souvenirs sailors brought home from their travels, and learn about e.g. shipbuilding and the 19th century seaman's hotel in Mariehamn, and try out being a captain in the museum's ship simulator. One of the treasures here is an original 18th-century Jolly Roger! Also English literature for sale. The archive of Gustaf Erikson was declared an immaterial world heritage by UNESCO in 2023.
