The Viapori shipyard is the meeting point of different human experiences that developed during the history of Finland. The Suomenlinna fortress, dating back to the 18th century, is the shrine that contains the shipyard, the main activity of which consists of the maintenance and restoration of traditional ships. Viapori is also a place where history keeps evolving, a place where the future is built on historical foundations: the restoration of traditional ships and the jobs related to them.
