Carry
The official pleasureboat of Estonian Maritime Museum
Carry was built in 1949 in Sweden and has likely carried the same name throughout its history. Unfortunately, the Maritime Museum has not yet been able to determine the exact builder of the boat, nor its earlier usage from the 1950s to the 1970s. It is only known that Carry's previous owner in Sweden was Björn Wahlgren, a blacksmith from the Stockholm Opera House, who sold it to a private owner in Estonia on July 7, 2007.

The rescue boat
of Suur Tõll
A little while ago, we shared that a brand-new rescue boat destined for the Maritime Museum had arrived at our workshop for final finishing work. Today, we’re pleased to show the completed result.
The rescue boat has now been installed aboard Suur Tõll - one of Estonia’s most iconic historic ships and a popular attraction at the Maritime Museum. It has been a pleasure to be part of this project, and we’re delighted to see the vessel in its new home, ready to be discovered by visitors.
Next time you visit Suur Tõll, take a moment to admire this beautiful addition and the craftsmanship behind it.
