Popular sailing ships to reminisce

The album presenting the Åland sailing ship era will soon be completed, a unique and exceptional maritime time document worth collecting.

In a limited number of graphically attractive collector’s sheets, the ships featured in the Sailing ship stamp series are brought to life with facts and photos that offer you some insight into the dramatic tall ships’ era.

Provided by award-winning Åland Maritime Museum, the engaging texts and photos have been translated into English, German and Finnish. In 12 issues, you join us for a journey through an era that placed Åland and the Ålanders’ entrepreneurship and marine know-how on the navigation charts. It started with the first Åland-built vessels during the era of peasant shipping in the 1800s and ended with magnificent windjammers and the world’s largest fleet of sailing ships around the mid-1900s.

Subscribers receive their last set of collector’s sheets in February 2020; non-subscribers can still obtain this unique series. A stylish black album accompanies the sheets.
