Other considerations

A coffee occasion will be arranged on Sunday at 10 am in Varvi, Raahe, where the Raahe (and Sovelius) shipyards were located, and where the Varvi village association erected a mast in the summer of 2021 as a memorial to the shipowners in Raahe. The mast is adapted from Sovelius’ brig Ahto’s main mast and stands exactly on the site of Fredrik Sovelius’ shipyard. In the immediate vicinity of the mast is the village association hut (for about 40 people) where we have our coffee. More about the mast on pages 27-28 of this magazine and a picture on the back cover.
