The Fight for Åland | The Finnish Islands That Wanted to Be Swedish

The Åland Islands lies between Sweden and Finland, and they caused great tension between these countries a hundred years ago. Let's explore this archipelago and see what all the fuss was about.

Åland is a pretty strange place in Scandinavia. It belongs to Finland, but it’s a self-governing territory with its own laws. And the people of Åland speak Swedish, and they share a lot of Swedish culture. Finland has sovereignty over the islands, but for a long time they wanted to belong to Sweden instead.

Less than 30 000 people live in Åland, on an area of roughly 1 500 square kilometers. And the main city of Åland is Mariehamn, a bustling metropolis of 11 000 people. Despite its small size, Åland has been of immense importance to the maritime traffic on the Baltic, as well as the military.

In this video I discuss the history of Åland as well as the politics leading up to the modern day. I also visit the Åland Museum of Cultural History, and the Maritime Museum which includes the four-masted steel barque Pommern. You will also see views from the western and eastern harbor of Mariehamn, as well as other areas of the city.

I didn't forget to mention the local brewery Stallhagen as well, and I also discuss the famous Champagne Schooner that sank close to the island of Föglö in the Åland archipelago. It was found with 145 intact bottles of champagne, and 5 bottles of beer - which were later auctioned off.

All this and a lot more, as I visit the Åland Islands - a strange little self-governing territory in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

Going to the Finnish island of Åland - My take-aways

My take-aways from going to the Finnish island of Åland. I took the Viking Line Baltic ferry Viking Grace from Stockholm, through the Stockholm archipelago to Åland islands and changed in Mariehamn to Viking Amorella back to Stockholm. This day trip to Aland islands is mostly to do tax free shopping and of course sing Finnish karaoke. How was the sun deck? How was the food? What could you do onboard? This questions are answered in the video.

My channel is packed with Swedish tutorials and language challenges where you can learn everything from nouns and verbs to grammar and special Swedish words. I also talk about places in Sweden and where you as a tourist can visit. I have made youtube videos for over 10 years and 10 Swedish Words started with me explaining 10 Swedish words that don't exist in English. You can also find videos about Norse Mythology, my deep-talk series Good Talk (which now has its own channel) and other info about Sweden and Swedish culture.

Seldom-seen Scandinavia: Ferry to the Åland Islands | Stockholm to Mariehamn

Watch how a T1D goes from Sweden to the Åland Islands on a ferry, and how I got some bad news from back home upon arrival. Will a death in the family derail this whole trip, when it just started? Is there some cosmic meaning in my arriving at a place known for sailing, when sailing-loving Grandpa just died at the age of 96?

This video is a look back at Day 3 of an epic trip that lasted over four months and took in 18 countries, mostly in the stunning lesser-visited parts of Europe. Chock full of all the travel tales *and* the insulin ups and downs.

The Åland Islands

Di video kali ini kita akan ngajak kalian untuk jalan-jalan ke Åland Islands, pulau Finlandia yang memiliki status otonom, Status otonom Åland berarti bahwa kekuasaan provinsi yang biasanya dijalankan oleh perwakilan dari pemerintah Finlandia pusat sebagian besar dilakukan oleh pemerintahnya sendiri. Posisi netral, demiliterisasi Åland berasal dari masa Perjanjian Perdamaian Paris setelah Perang Åland pada tahun 1850-an. (padahal dari wikipedia) pokoknya kalo mau tau Åland Islands ada dimana googling deh.

WTF is there to do on Åland - public art and statues

In this video I show off some of the statues, busts and public art of Mariehamn, Åland.

I actually recorded a bunch more but I partly figured that the video would become too long and partly I was having issues with my video editing software, hence why I made it a bit shorter than it was initially inteded to be.

Things shown in the video are :

Two Memorials in memory of those lost at sea.

The piece of art Havets folk - people of the sea refering to how the local population has always been connected to the sea and made their living from it.

Nikolai Sittkoff - one of the foremost business men of Åland.

Maria Alexandrovna - the Russian Empress who the city of Mariehamn got its name from.

Gustava Stavamoster Andersson - The mother of seamen . A woman who looked after sailors so that they wouldn't just spend all their money on drinks and other unnecessary things while on shore.
...

Additionally I actually filmed, but ended up cutting some pieces of art around town and a few other busts and statues... maybe i'll use those clips in some future project, who knows.

A STERN VIEW SAILING PODCAST : Rödhamn, Åland Islands, Finland

Hello Friends,

This is a special episode that features the audio from my latest episode of A STERN VIEW PODCAST along with some video clips from Rödhamn in Åland. This is me trying to spread the word and get more ears on the podcast or let any sailors out there that might like this sailing podcast know about it!

In this ASVP episode Neil and myself talk about our stay in Rödhamn and what cruisers can expect when visiting this magical island and harbor.

A STERN VIEW PODCAST is a Sailing Podcast that is something of a cruising guide in audio form. Each episode is recorded onboard at the anchorage that is being discussed or reviewed.

The first season of the podcast I talked about each of the anchorages I visited on Santa Cruz Island in California's Channel Islands.

I won't be doing this for every episode but thought I would be a good idea to spread the word about the podcast.

you can subscribe to A STERN VIEW PODCAST on iTunes or where ever you get your podcasts.



Thanks for watching and listening!

Fair Winds,
Sailor James

Vlog #1 WTH is there to do on Åland - Orrdalsklint

This video is the first in a series of Vlog-style videos where I go to visit various sites around the Åland Islands to show them off as there's nothing that covers all of the things you can see on Åland.

Orrdalsklint is the first piece of Åland to emerge out of the Yolida Sea some 10000 years ago. The peak is 129.1 meters above sea level and located in the municipality of Saltvik

The mountain, or it's more of a hill than a mountain, does have road access but you're not allowed to drive there as the road goes over private land. The only posibility to get there is to use your right to roam and walk there. From where you can park it's about 45 minutes walk uphill, or 15-20 minutes downhill, so it's quite a long walk to get up to the peak. But when you get there you'll have a spectacular view.
