Tall ships in Kotka

Tall ships visited this year (July) in two places in Finland: in Kotka and In Turku. Because we have seen them in Turku and Helsinki, our decision to go to Kotka, was understandable. Last time we visited Mexican Tall ship Cuauhtémoc. This time we visited few ships, but Brazilian Tall ship Cisne Branco (White Swan) and Portuguese Tall ship Santa Maria Manuela from Madeira were the subject of our interest.

We started in good time our road trip to Kotka, because we wanted to park our car easily. Wise decision, because there were already lines queueing the parking lot. Distance from Helsinki to Kotka is 133km / 83mi. This time I found interesting figureheads. I show them in the beginning of this post.

En español:

Veleros de mástiles altos en Kotka.

Veleros de mástiles altos visitaron este año (julio) en dos ciudades en Finlandia: en Kotka y en Turku. Porque los hemos visto en Turku y Helsinki, nuestra decisión de ir a Kotka, fue comprensible. La última vez que visitamos el buque escuela velero mexicano Cuauhtémoc fue en Helsinki. Esta vez visitamos pocas naves, pero el buque escuela velero mexicano Cuauhtémoc (Cisne Blanco) y el buque Grande de Portugal y el buque Santa María Manuela de Madeira fueron el tema de nuestro interés.

Comenzamos a tiempo nuestro viaje por carretera a Kotka, porque queríamos aparcar nuestro carro fácilmente. Decisión sabia, porque ya había colas filas el aparcamiento. La distancia desde Helsinki a Kotka es de 133km / 83mi. Esta vez encontré mascarónes de proa interesantes. Les vos muestro en el comienzo de este post.

En francais:

Grands voiliers à Kotka.

Les grands voiliers ont visité cette année (Juillet) en deux endroits en Finlande: à Kotka et à Turku. Parce que nous les avons vus à Turku et à Helsinki, notre décision d’aller à Kotka était compréhensible. La dernière fois que nous avons visité le voilier mexicain Cuauhtémoc. Cette fois, nous avons visité quelques navires, mais le vaisseau brésilien Cisne Branco (Cygne Blanc) et le grand voilier portugais Santa Maria Manuela de Madère ont fait l’objet de notre principal intérêt.

Nous avons commencé en temps utile notre voyage vers Kotka, car nous voulions garer notre bagnole facilement. Sage décision, car il y avait déjà des longues files d’attente du parking. La distance de Helsinki à Kotka est de 133 km / 83mi. Cette fois, j’ai trouvé des figures de proue intéressantes. Je les vous montre à la fin de ce poste.

Em Português:

Grandes veleiros em Kotka.

A regata de grandes veleiros visitaram este ano (julho) em dois lugares na Finlândia: em Kotka e em Turku. Como nós temos visto os altos navios em Turku e em Helsínquia, nossa decisão de ir para Kotka foi compreensível. A última vez que visitamos o navio alto mexicano Cuauhtémoc. Desta vez, visitamos alguns navios altos, mas o navio alto brasileiro Cisne Branco e o navio alto portuguese Santa Maria Manuela da Madeira foram o nosso maior interesses.

Começamos atempadamente a nossa viagem a Kotka, porque queríamos estacionar o nosso carro facilmente. Decisão sensata, porque já havia muitos carros as estão na filas no estacionamento. A distância de Helsínquia para Kotka é de 133 km / 83 mi. Desta vez eu encontrei as figuras de proa interessantes. Eu mostre-lhes para vôce no início deste post.

Tall ships are so beautiful. I like some of the details you have captured here, particularly the ropes.

I was so interested to read this post and view your photographs as it brought back such fond memories of our visit as well. I really love how you have captured the figureheads at the helm of the ships and the ropes. You are very talented in searching out such detail, I like how one rope is knotted whilst another is just curled round. It is also interesting to read how we both attend the same event and report on it in our own ways. It has been a pleasure to read this post and view your photos Matti. I hope you have a pleasant week. M.

Beautiful fotos of fascinating ships! I remember your former blog posts when you visited Turku and Helsinki, Matti. Georgeous as well!

It’s interesting to see the details like figureheads, ropes and these different thongs (?). I recognized some ships that visited Hamburg on the occasion of one of our annual port festivals, for example the Russian tall (and training) ship “Kruzenshtern” or the “Fr. Chopin”, a ship I once discovered in Kiel (during the “Kieler Woche”). Nice to see them again visiting now Kotka in Finland!

Thanks for showing your great foto souvernirs! I hope your enjoyed being on board of the “Cisne Branco” and the “Santa Maria Manuela”!

Best regards from Hamburg!
Michèle

- Hello Michèle.
  
  Thank You for Your praising comment. My wife noticed those ropes and thongs and I figureheads. Three eyes see more than two eyes! 🙂 Many same ships visit same harbors where they were earlier. Every time it is a great joy to see them. We could not visit every ship, because there was crew rest and we came “too early”. 🙂
  
  It was also a great joy to ” portugiesisch sprechen” with the crew of “Cisne Branco” and the “Santa Maria Manuela”. 🙂
  
  All the best to You.

Love your blog! We spent 6 months in Finland in 2005. My husband had a Fulbright at the University in Oulu. We both love Finland and the Finns. I will come back and explore more of your photos. They are beautiful. I’m so glad to have found your blog!

- Hello Sarah.
  
  Six month is so long time, that You have an excellent idea about Finland. When young, I worked in Spain 4½ months and learnt Spanish there as a child learns to speak. 🙂
  
  Finland has changed since 2005 and Oulu also. Helsinki is changing its faces so fast that it is incredible. In Oulu there is now construction boom meaning that from the window of our vacation home we can see six cranes and some buildings are tall in Finnish scale. ) Thank You for Your kind comment.
  
  Happy new week.

Me encantan los barcos a vela, son preciosos y al mismo tiempo románticos.
Incluso los enormes como estos del post, tienen un halo de nostalgia y olor a pasado, aunque algunos sean de reciente construcción.
El Cuauhtémoc, también estuvo en el puerto de mi ciudad, la Coruña. Que curioso.
Una visita preciosa, envidia por no poder hacer una navegación con ellos.
Estupendas fotos.
Un saludo
Luisa
