Finnish Maritime Archaeology through its Publications

Ilves, Kristin; Marila, Marko Mikael (2021)

This article analyses Finnish maritime archaeology through a compiled bibliography of 621 scientific and popular works published between 1942–2020. General trends and turning points in the history of the discipline are identified and discussed vis-a-vis temporal and topical foci discerned in the publications. Special attention is drawn to the concentration in Finnish research on shipwrecks from the historical period, and the low international visibility of scientific production is problematised. While large-scale projects have been carried out in Finnish maritime archaeology, knowledge production within the authorised heritage discourse in particular has aimed to fulfil the needs of local and national rather than international audiences. Our compiled bibliography, which is hereby made available to the wider research community, has potential to become a valuable tool for identifying and developing future research areas.
Recycling Ships : Maritime Archaeology of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Suomenlinna

Koivikko, Minna (Helsingin yliopisto, 2017)

The study site is the underwater seascape of the 18th-century fortress islands of Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) in the harbour of Helsinki, Finland. The site is located in the Gulf of Finland, in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. The fortress has global significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This study had its origin in the insight that a ship's hull, while comprised of numerous individual artifacts, could be treated as one object from the viewpoint of archaeological research. From that premise, it followed that the study of the ship as an artefact can be continued through processes of reuse. This change in approach allowed evaluating the reuse of ships in a different way than the traditional concept of recycling, which involves demolishing and cannibalizing all the material of the vessel. This study states that the hull can also be recycled intact to serve the contemporary community. Accordingly, it is called recycling rather than simple reuse, since it involves a change in the function of the hull. The activities of different periods have left footprints in the underwater seascape, which create a basis for interpretations of a maritime cultural landscape. The author used maritime archaeological field methods to collect data throughout the 80-hectare water area around Suomenlinna. This archaeological record has not been analysed earlier. For this study, an interpretation tool was developed for unidentified shipwrecks, especially for data produced in surveys. The three primary aims of this study are raising awareness of the possibilities of maritime archaeological studies, broadening the concept of recycling, and increasing the appreciation of old and poorly preserved wrecks. In addition, this study reveals recycling processes undertaken on some of the first vessels of the Swedish Army Fleet, and the locations of the last wooden sailing warships of the Russian Baltic Fleet. Maritime archaeology should be challenged to apply its methods and perspectives to address contemporary global concerns and the well-being of our waters, as well as ourselves.
Ruotsinsalmen aaveet : 1700-luvun merisodan virtuaalisen mallintamisen ja immersiivisen esittämisen haasteet

Sahari, Aaro (2020)

Virtuaaliteknologialla voidaan rakentaa museoon kokemus kadonneesta fyysisestä menneisyydestä ja antaa nykyihmisille mahdollisuus aistia kadonnutta historiaa ja kulttuuriperintöä. Teknologia tehostaa historiallisen kulttuuriperinnön ja siitä lähteiden varassa tehtyjen tulkintojen saavutettavuutta. Virtuaali historia eroaa kirjallisesta historiasta ja perinteisistä museotuotannoista erityisesti siinä, että virtuaali teknologialla toteutettu menneisyyden uudelleentulkinta vaatii tutkijoiden ja virtuaaliteknologian am mattilaisten saumatonta yhteistyötä. Merikeskus Vellamossa Kotkassa avautui kesällä 2020 näyttely Kohtalona Ruotsinsalmi, joka avaa Kustaan sodan (1788–1790) kulkua merellä ja seurauksia ranni kolla sekä esittää Ruotsinsalmen toisen meritaistelun monimediaisesti. Yksi näistä on peliteknologialla toteutettu Savua aalloilla elämys, jossa sodan päättänyt Ruotsinsalmen toinen meritaistelu tuodaan museokävijän nähtäville virtuaalisesti. Elämystä varten tehtiin merkittävä määrä historiantutkimusta, jotta saaristolaivastojen alukset ja miehistöt voitiin rakentaa digitaalisesti uudelleen tulkittuina. Täs sä katsauksessa esittelen Ruotsin ja Venäjän Itämerellä 1700luvun lopussa toimineiden saaristo laivastojen alusten digitaalista mallintamista, siihen liittyviä tiedollisia ongelmia ja sitä käsittelevää virtuaalitodellisuushanketta.
