Churchboat of Siitama


Merja sent me this card with a serene background and about twenty people straining at the oars. This is a Churchboat of Siitama Village in Finland, built in 1875. It has 10 pairs of oarlocks. And, is 15.5 m long. Some of you may wonder, where this place Siitama is? It is a village in Västra Finlands Län, Finland. It is 102 miles (164km) north of Helsinki and 97 miles (156km) north of Espoo.
