Rauma Maritime Museum
About This Museum
Would you believe this entire museum started with a single model ship donated by a local sea captain in 1998? It's tucked away in a charming old wooden building that feels like stepping right into Rauma's seafaring past. You can almost smell the salt and hear the creak of ropes as you wander past beautifully detailed ship models and massive, intricate figureheads. The stories here aren't just in plaques on the wall—they're woven into everything from tiny sailor-made trinkets to the massive steam engine that powered an icebreaker.
Collection Highlights
The collection is incredible—think a whole fleet of historic ship models, powerful steam engines, and these wonderfully expressive wooden figureheads staring back at you. Don't miss the personal items from sailors' voyages; they make the history feel so immediate.
