 ABOUT
Estonian
Historic Ship Society offers attractive travel opportunities for people
interested in historic ships and nature tourism. The traditional wooden
vessels typical to Estonian coastal regions and inland bodies of water
will take you on the numerous scenic rivers, to visit the fisher
villages along the shores of Lake Peipsi and Lake Võrtsjärv with
hundreds of years of boat building and fishing traditions, and to the
islands and coast of Väinameri and the Baltic Sea. Come and get
acquainted with Estonia beyond regular tourism routes – learn about our
nautical heritage, participate in boat building seminars and volunteer
nature camps, and take an insight into the various local cultures
ranging from the little orthodox villages on Lake Peipsi to the ancient
regions of the Estonian Swedes on the islands and coast of the Baltic
Sea.
