Now you have change to draw one of most known tourist destinations on Åland Islands, sailship Pommern. Waymark takes you into aft side of Pommern and you van see Alands Maritime museum on your left. Perspective from this direction does not show much about ship's bow, but this is a nice location to draw.
Pommern was built in 1903 in Scotland and was purchased in 1923 by Åland shipowner, Gustaf Erikson. Prior to this, she was owned by several German companies. Pommern sailed in Gustaf Erikson’s fleet until 1939, mostly sailing to Australia to pick up wheat to be sold in Europe. In 1953, Gustaf Erikson’s children donated Pommern to the City of Mariehamn where she has been a museum ship since that time. Today, the ship is still owned by the City of Mariehamn, now consigned to Åland’s Maritime Museum Trust who looks after the exhibitions onboard, as well as maintenance and restoration.
