Hi,
My home town was a large wooden sail ship Sigyn who drove the cargo across the ocean, built in 1887 and museumed in 1936 and still alive but not sailing.

My neighbor town Stockholm, an older Wasa warship was completed in 1628 and ran just under 1nm and sink, now museumed.

And last seasons big tall ships race visit Turku
