“Life in the Sailing Ship Era”

Exhibition in the Town Hall vitrines (Kanalinranta 3, 1st floor) 7-28 April 2006.

Letters and postcards used to be the most common means of communication between seamen and their relatives and friends ashore. Keeping in touch was difficult and time-consuming. Poor postal services kept sailor’s close relatives in constant uncertainty about his fate.

Life in the Sailing Ship Era exhibition tries to tell us what it was like to live as a seaman in the sailing ship era. At the same time, the exhibition gives an overview of the era itself.
