S/Y Daphne, Museum ship and ketch in Turku, Finland
The S/Y Daphne, a wooden ketch measuring 12 meters in length, stands as a preserved vessel at Forum Marinum maritime museum in Turku.
Built in 1935 at Turku Shipyard, the vessel underwent transformation from a gaff-rigged schooner to a ketch configuration during the 1940s under Uno Tennberg's ownership.
The vessel gained recognition through numerous books written by Göran Schildt, documenting maritime journeys across the Mediterranean Sea between 1949 and 1987.
Visitors can examine the S/Y Daphne at Forum Marinum maritime center, located near the museum restaurant Göran along the Turku waterfront.
The vessel survived a Caribbean hurricane in 1995 and received extensive restoration at Kuggom shipbuilding school, requiring 4,500 hours of careful craftsmanship.
