Mary Gohccn of Heppner let me read a twelve-page review
of her recent travels in Sweden, Finland, Estonia and
Denmaf k and nearby islands and graciously let me condense
some of the highlights of this adventure for G-T readers.
Mary flew from Pendleton to Portland and then to Seattle
for an overnight stay before going east to New York's
Kennedy Airport where she boarded a plane which took her
3,330 miles to Gothenburg, which is less than an hour from
Stockholm.
The 65-person Lindblad Tour Group stayed at the Grand
Hotel in Stocklholm. The big excitement of the first evening
took place at Skeppebron quay when the new Lindblad
motorship. the M.S. POLARIS was ceremoniously christened
by his Royal Highness. Prince Bertil, uncle of the Swedish
King, along with Mr. and Mrs. Lars-Eric Lindblad, Captain
Bertil Groenberg and Master Mariner Torbjorn Svenson.
After the ceremonies tour members inspected the new ship
on which they would share its maiden voyage.
Sightseeing highlights in Stockholm were the City Hall,
where the Nobel Prize award banquets are held, the daily
changing of the guard at the royal palace, and the Wasa
Museum where a 200-foot-long warship built in 1628. which
was raised in 1961 and restored, is on display.
On April 30, the king's birthday, Mary and three tourist
friends went together to see special ceremonies along with
the changing of the guard. That afternoon they visited
Skansen, an open-air museum and zoological park where on
the eve of May Day (Walpurgis Night) witches are thought to
ride about. That night, the tour group spenftheir first night
on the new vessel.
On Saturday, May 1, after some enjoyed a morning of
looking in windows of closed shops, the POLARIS and its
passengers sailed from Stockholm toward Finland. The
morning of May 2, the POLARIS docked in Mariehamn in the
Finnish Aland Islands very close to the four -masted
windjammer POMMERN "one of the few remaining sailing
vessels, the very last of her class, in a completely original
state. An interesting feature we saw on our complete tour of
this vessel was the large wooden cage on deck which was
used to confine pigs so that the crew would have fresh meat
on their voyages." Mary wrote. The beautiful Aland Islands
have been inhabited since prehistoric times and much of
interest was seen there, such as, the Castle of Kastelholm
dating from the 1300's, she reported.
The POLARIS moved on toward Helsinki where there was
a May snow storm in this beautiful city, built mainly on solid
rock. Its tremendous Temppeliaukio Church is quarried into
bedrock with its outer wall made of quarried stone, piled and
bound together with steel The tourists enjoyed shopping in
Finland's Stockmann Department Store. An educational talk
on Finland by Professor Stig Jaatine increased everyone's
understanding of that country. Mary said.
After crossing the Gulf of Finland during the night, me tour

arrived in Tallinn. Estonia (Russia) "which is famous for its
medieval look and I where archeologicnl finding show that
people lived about four thousand years ago," she stated. At
this stop, Mary reported two soldiers were stationed at the
foot of the gangway and they had to surrender their
passports. She said they were given a booklet that had CCP
on its front that they were to carry while off the ship and turn
in when they got their passports again.
"May 5 we cruised westward in the Baltic to the Swedish
Island of Gotland. We stopped close to the bird island. Stora
Karlso, and some passengers went ashore in large rubber
boats for a walking tour and to see the museum on the island
where a naturalist gave an informative lecture. This day it
rained hard as we moved to Visby, which was once the most
important trading station in the Baltic and which is now a
popular resort.
Next the tour group visited Kalmar, one of Sweden's oldest
cities, the Scandanavian capital during the early Middle
Aces. "We had a wonderfully narrated tour through the
Lessobo Paper Mill, one of the few mills still making
completely hand-made paper. ..interestingly, they order their
cellulose from Buckeye, Tennessee."
Late that afternoon and during the night, the POLARIS
moved to Copenhagen, the city tour there showed such things
as the Little Mermaid, Gefion Fountain, Christiansborg
Palace and the old stock exchange.
Other highpoints in Denmark were a visit to Kronborg
Castle (Hamlet's Castle) at Elsmor and to the Louisianna Art
Museum which features very modern art. Traveling by bus
through the Danis countryside was delightful as was viewing
the Royal family's Kredensborg Palace "where they reside
during spring and fall. We also stopped to view the huge
Frederiksborg Castle and huge parks around it," she wrote.
That evening most of the tourists visited the famous Trivoli
Gardens during their final night in Europe. The next day
almost everyone Hew west : Mary's flight took about nine
hours to reach Seattle. She then flew to Portland and
then to Pendleton where her sister, Irene Anhorn. waited to
bring her to Heppner on May 10.
Mar's story concludes "Thus ended a very wonderful
experience. I am very grateful to the Lindblads for having
invited me to join this maiden cruise and to visit the cities
that still have their medieval flavor, even back to the Viking
Age, some of which I never dreamed I would ever see."
