Noarootsi Rupp

Noarootsi rupp (also known as rupa, rupp, or ruppa) are flat-bottomed boats, 2-3 plank heights, with a sharp bow and stern, without a rudder.

Vormsi julla

Jullas were 10-12 feet long and 4-5 feet wide boats with a square stern and a keel, used for rowing and sailing.

Alexander

The motorboat “Alexander” was built, presumably in the late 1940s in Sweden, following the example of Pakri Islands’ motorboats, by Alexander Friberg.

Ruhnu Jaala "Vikan"

Built by the Museum of the Coastal Swedes in the museum’s yard, with the support of TELE2, Ruhnu Jaala sailed to Stockholm and back, as the Coastal Swedes have done throughout history.

Naissaar Fishing Boat "Lilian"

The fishing boat was built in 1954 by a former Naissaar resident, Herbert Rudolf Luther (1907-1981).

Vormsi Rupp "Gättor"

Rupps were in use on Vormsi from the late 18th century until the late 1920s. The wider spread of motorboats gradually displaced them.

Ruhnu lodja

The Ruhnu lodja is a small 4-meter boat.

Kaljas "Hoppet" from Spithamn

This two-masted cargo ship was registered in Haapsalu in 1926, and in November 1927, it sailed to the Kornhamnstorg market in Stockholm’s Old Town with its first load of potatoes.
