  • FINLAND and the ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday
    FINLAND AND THE ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday 21 July Today we crossed from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland by ferry. The first thing to do was a major and quite expensive stock-up shop at the supermarket over the road, in anticipation of more expensive times to come in Scandinavia. Then along to check in early with the Finnish Eckero Line, and after a wait of an hour or so we were among the last to be loaded, along with many other motorhomes and heavy trucks. Big ship, with many similarities to those used for Channel crossings. The only problem was to get away from the live music in the public areas, much enjoyed by most passengers. Also popular was lying out in the sun on and around the small covered pool in what was a beautiful blue day – windy, though. We finally found a relatively quiet spot to read and use the internet before going on deck again to watch the ship’s spectacular entry to and through the Helsinki archipelago. You can never watch the final docking because of the need to get down to the cars and vans, so the first we saw of Finland was through the open rear of the vessel. We had the Tomtom all set to guide us to the camp site, but even so it is a stressful business being dumped in a busy part of a busy city like Helsinki without much idea of where you are or how you get to where you want to go. The camp site, in the suburb of Rastila, is about 10 km north-east of the city.

  • Bygone Days Revisited Europe Was in Turmoil in 1939 As the Drums of War Beat Louder and Louder
    19th August 2004 Bygone days revisited Europe was in turmoil in 1939 as the drums of war beat louder and louder. Here in Falmouth the port was about to witness the final epoch of sail during that long summer leading up to hostilities with Nazi Germany. Steam ships were being replaced by motor ships and the days of the large commercial sailing ships were numbered. In the Australian grain loading ports of Port Victoria, Port Germein and Port Lincoln, situated in Spencer's Gulf, 13 sailing ships loaded their grain cargoes for Europe in what was to be the last Grain Race of any magnitude. The average passage time from Australia to Europe for the 1939 race was 124 days. Of the 13 ships that left southern Australia five were bound for Falmouth for orders, three for the Lizard to pick up instructions and the remainder sailed for Queenstown, Ireland. Freight rates saw grain being carried for 25 shillings per ton. Ships normally sailed from Australia in March and April for the 100-plus days passage to Europe either via Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope. Between 1921 and 1939 a total of 328 sailings were made from the Australian Grain ports of which 146 ships called at Falmouth. Pamir, Lawhill, Pommern, Winterhude and the Archibald Russell were bound for Falmouth when they sailed in 1939 from this sometimes inhospitable part of Australia known for its searing high temperatures in summer time. Moshulu made a passage of 91 days to Ireland closely followed by the Padua, now the Russian sail trainer Kruzenshtern (93 days).

  • Grain Race 1939
    Länspumpen - Sjöfartshistorisk tidskrift sid 1(7) Den sista stora vetekappseglingen 1939 Bo Jershed Exporten av vete från Spencer Gulf i Sydaustralien till Europa kom igång så smått i slutet av 1870-talet och växte därefter snabbt. I tidens anda blev det naturligt att jämföra de hemvändande segelfartygens överfartstider och så småningom utvecklade sig detta till en inofficiell kappsegling. Den första större vetekappseglingen, ”Grain Race”, ägde rum säsongen 1920/1921 då ett trettiotal ”windjammers” deltog. Vetekappseglingarna blev en informell tävling där det gällde att vara snabbast från Spencer Gulf i Australien till orderhamnarna Falmouth i England eller Queenstown, numera Cobh, på Irland. Avfärden skedde från Australien normalt februari-maj och efter ca 100 dagar var man framme vid orderhamnen och fick besked vart man sedan skulle gå och lossa lasten. Dessa årliga kappseglingar fortsatte ända fram till krigsutbrottet 1939 och detta års kappsegling med elva ”windjammers” blev den sista stora kappseglingen. Efter kriget skedde även kappseglingar 1948 och 1949 men i dessa deltog endast ett fåtal fartyg. Bakgrund I takt med ångfartygens och motorfartygens frammarsch samt öppnandet av Suez- och Panamakanalen 1869 resp. 1914 trängdes de stora segelfartygen ut från sina historiska trader och efter första världskriget återstod för dessa fartyg egentligen bara salpeterlaster från Chile och vetelaster från södra Australien. Salpetertraden stagnerade under 30-talet i samband med att chilesalpeter kom mer och mer att ersättas av industriellt framställd konstgödsel. Vetetraden med segelfartyg fortsatte däremot fram till andra världskriget och även några år efter. För driftiga redare var det fortfarande möjligt att på denna trad få en lönsamhet med avskrivna eller billigt inköpta segelfartyg under förutsättning att driftskostnaderna hölls nere.
