The exhibition showcases a unique selection from the museum\u2019s art collection, bringing to life captivating stories of the sea and seafaring.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Estonian Maritime Museum\u2019s art collection encompasses more than 200 years of maritime history \u2014 capturing moments, ships, and people. \u201cThe distinctly eclectic collection now comprises <s>&nbsp;<\/s>of 914 artworks acquired by the museum between 1935 and 2025. It includes oil paintings, watercolors, graphic prints, drawings, bookplates, and sculptures,\u201d says exhibition curator Laura Jamsja.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oldest works date back to the early 19th century. \u201cOver the museum\u2019s 90-year history, many clues and backstories have faded, but fortunately , this fragile art collection has escaped major losses or destruction,\u201d adds the curator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each exhibited piece tells its own story. For instance, in an 1873 oil painting by Swedish captain Olof Olsson, a sailing ship named <em>Georg<\/em> is shown frozen in the ice near P\u00e4rnu. Under Olsson\u2019s command, the same ship also crossed the Atlantic. Its figurehead \u2014 Saint George in glittering armor \u2014 was said to be modeled after the shipowner, J\u00fcri Veide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, a 1932 oil painting by Waterways Authority official Balduin Rautsma portrays the lightship <em>Nekmangrund<\/em>, named after the German term for the Hiiu Shoal. Lightships served as guardians near dangerous underwater shallows. The Hiiu Shoal warning vessel stood out with its bright red hull, red-and-white striped sails, and a mast adorned with the rescue society\u2019s crest \u2014 a red cross flanked by two blue anchors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>British artist Reuben Chappell\u2019s undated work depicts the four-masted barquentine <em>Tormilind<\/em>. Chappell began sketching ships at his local harbor as a young schoolboy and later became an internationally recognized master of commissioned maritime art, producing around 300 paintings per year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outdoor exhibition is part of the Estonian Maritime Museum\u2019s 90th anniversary celebrations and serves as a teaser for an overview exhibition of the art collection, which will open at the Seaplane Harbour in February 2026. The current exhibition will remain open in Tammsaare Park until July 24<sup>th<\/sup>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On June 27, an outdoor exhibition titled \u201cThe Call of the Sea on Canvas \u2013 90 Years of the Estonian Maritime Museum\u2019s Art Collection\u201d opened in Tammsaare Park.
