Hietalahti quay on May Day

Anno 1898

M/S Isbjörn

A beautifully restored steel tugboat from 1898, moored in the heart of Helsinki at Hietalahdenranta.

Isbjörn — the Polar Bear — was built at Götawerken in Gothenburg and worked Swedish waters for six decades before being saved from the breakers. Today she is in great shape: a 47-ton working ship with a warm saloon, a full galley and room for twelve guests. You are welcome to take the wheel, watch the engine, or simply sit on the aft deck as Helsinki slips past.
