The Forum Marinum basic exhibition “From Hoy to Ro-Ro, from Galley to Hovercraft” tells the history of seafaring in South-West Finland and of the Finnish Navy. It includes themes such as the Turku shipping companies, vessel types, archipelago culture, peasant shipping, merchant shipping and tourism, and the history of the maritime administration, coast guard and the customs, that is, of the Navy of independent Finland.
