[FIN] Merenkulkijoiden kappeli (Sjöfararkapellet) on vuonna 2008 valmistunut pieni kappeli lähellä Maarianhaminan merikorttelia. Puinen kappeli on pitkän niemen päässä ja sen luota on hieno näkymä merelle.

Kappelin sisustus on aika pelkistetty. Yhtenä esineenä on sen edessä alttarilla oleva puinen kastemalja. Se on koverrettu yhdestä suuresta puun pahkasta. Puu on sisältä haljennut, eikä se pidä ilmeisesti vettä. Oletettavasti kastetoimituksissa kastemalja sisään nostetaan jokin kulho.

Kastemaljan reunoihin on kaiverrettu kuviota. Sen jalka on tehty eri puusta ja siinä on kaiverrettu risti. Pyöreän jalan reunuksessa on symboleja kuten kala. Kastemaljan tehneen taiteilijan nimeä ei ole tiedossa.

Kappeli on avoinna kaikille. Sitä ovat kunnostaneet mm. meripartiolaiset. Kappelissa on myös pidetty radiohartauksia.


[EN] Sjöfararkapellet) is a small chapel completed in 2008 near Mariehamn's sea quarter. The wooden chapel is at the end of a long promontory and has a great view of the sea.

The interior of the chapel is quite simple. One object is a wooden baptismal font on the altar in front of it. It is hollowed out of one large piece of wood. The wood is cracked from the inside and apparently does not hold water. Presumably, in baptism services, a bowl is lifted into the baptismal bowl.

There is a pattern engraved on the edges of the baptismal font. Its base is made of a different wood and has a carved cross on it. The border of the round foot has symbols such as a fish. The name of the artist who made the baptismal font is not known.

The chapel is open to everyone. It has been renovated by e.g. sea scouts. Radio devotions have also been held in the chapel.
