Archipelago in the city
Ruissalo Marina is a must for every boat enthusiast. When you step ashore you are literally stepping on to historical ground.
This is where the legendary Åbo Båtvarf built thousands of vessels from 1889 to 1954. The sailing boat Merenneito II and the motor boat Airawata, built here in the 1920's, are still in daily use at the marina.
The Åbo Båtvarf (in Finnish: Turun veneveistämö, English translation: Turku Boatyard), which operated in 1889-1954, was the biggest boatyard in the Nordic countries and a major player throughout Europe. Altogether over 5000 boats were built at the boatyard. The number of employees varied from twenty to over two hundred, over the years. The range of production ranged from rowboats and lifeboats, over gunboats and torpedo boats to luxurious pleasure yachts. The activities of Åbo Båtvarf have played a significant role in the development of pleasure boating and yacht racing in Finland.
