Abstract
In 2017 - 2018, a bespoke dock was built for the sole purpose of preserving the historic vessel Pommern of Mariehamn. As the dock was built in the water rather than dug into land, the construction posed several challenges that rarely feature in dock constructions. However, it was these challenges that made the project exciting, attracting international interest among engineers as well as heritage professionals. That Pommern now has its own custom-built dock provides new possibilities to pursue strategic preservation work. Furthermore, the ship and the dock together have the potential of becoming a hub and workshop for international co-operation regarding different methods for preserving historic ships.
