Tarmo, Museum ship in Kotka, Finland

The Tarmo steamship extends 67 meters in length and features both bow and stern propellers powered by a marine steam engine.

Built in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1907, the Tarmo served as Finland's third state-owned icebreaker and maintained operations through both World Wars.

The vessel's name translates to 'vigor' in Finnish, reflecting the strength needed to break through Baltic Sea ice during winter months.

The Maritime Museum of Finland maintains the Tarmo as a permanent exhibition, allowing visitors to explore the preserved steam-powered icebreaker.

During its service years, the Tarmo assisted between 350 and 450 ships annually through ice-covered waters of the Finnish maritime routes.
