Maritime Museum of Finland, Maritime museum in Kotka, Finland
The Maritime Museum of Finland occupies space within the Maritime Centre Vellamo, displaying over 16,000 artifacts and 37,000 historical photographs related to seafaring history.
The museum began collecting maritime items in the early 1900s through consul Gösta Sundman's contributions and relocated from Helsinki to Kotka in 2008.
The exhibitions North Star, Southern Cross and Fateful Svensksund present the evolution of Baltic Sea navigation and maritime traditions through different time periods.
