The Shipyard

Welcome to the Shipyard in Jakobstad, where the galeas Jacobstads Wapen is being repaired and the war indemnity schooner Vega is being reconstructed. The area serves as both a functional shipyard and a museum, where we cherish and showcase the local maritime and cultural history, traditional wooden shipbuilding, and Finland's war indemnity history.

Welcome!
