Previous spread: The date of the map ‘MORSKAJA ISPRAVNAJA KARTA PORTA SVEABURGA’ is 6th July 1788, the day when the Swedish navy took shelter in the Suomenlinna fortress after naval battles against Russia. In the southwestern corner of the map is a Swedish ship inflames, having caught fire when escaping to Viapori together with four other vessels. Construction of the Suomenlinna sea fortress (formerly Viapori) began in 1748; during Gustav’s sea wars, the fortress was a repair dock for the archipelago navy, enabling, for its part, the victory of the Ruotsinsalmi naval battle in 1790.

The treasures of the Foundation’s miniature vessel collection include various well-known ship types. The Dutch flute was a typical merchant ship of the 17th century, used specifically for shorter distance goods transportation in the sea routes of North Europe. It was trustworthy and reliable, and most importantly inexpensive to build and sail. The flute had three masts, and its simple rig could be handled by just a few men. All types of cargo could be transported in the spacious cargo hold. Thanks to the flute’s pear-shaped form, it was possible to ‘cheat’ with taxes, which were defined on the basis of the width of the upper deck.

In the summer of 2011, Sanoma Media donated media space to the Clean Baltic Sea campaign. An advertisement in Helsingin Sanomat, built around the person of Felix Karmazinov, Director General of the St. Petersburg water utility, received the Finnish Marketing Association’s Silver Grain award in the social advertisement category of the Golden Grain awards.

‘I could not care less about the Дерьмовое Baltic Sea!’ Felix Karmazinov, Director General of Vodokanal St. Petersburg, 15 May 2005

It was supposed to be impossible. In 2004, the city of St. Petersburg was still the largest single source of nutrient discharges to the Gulf of Finland and the entire Baltic Sea: blue-green algae, for example, was not considered to be a problem. After numerous encounters and long discussions, the seriousness of the status of the Baltic Sea was finally understood also in St. Petersburg, and Karmazinov and the St. Petersburg water utility joined the fight for the common cause. This is how the John Nurminen Foundation project for constructing chemical phosphorus removal systems at St. Petersburg’s three main wastewater treatment plants was initiated. Thanks to international cooperation, the project has finally reached its goal. The annual phosphorus load entering the Baltic Sea has been reduced by an astonishing 1,000 tonnes. Thanks are due to all supporters and partners of the John Nurminen Foundation Clean Baltic Sea projects. Together, we have achieved an unsurpassed environmental feat in the Baltic Sea. Today, the wastewater treatment plants in St. Petersburg treat waters even more efficiently than is required by the EU. And Director General Karmazinov has gained a reputation as the most passionate advocate of the Baltic Sea. Nothing is impossible. urminen Foundation. eport E dita the P rima John N by O y as a donation to printed was T his A nnual R
