- The compass and binnacle were on ms Sally Albatross when the ship caught fire at Finnboda yard in Stockholm during a docking in 1990.
- In 1920, two newbuilt ships, Edgar and Rigel, were bought to Åland.

Allegedly, the shipyard management had a lock put on one of the quayside moorings while awaiting payment.
- The bag contains medical equipment and was kept on Dinard that served as a hospital ship in World War II.
- Rolls like these were used in the rig to keep the gaff sail tight to the mast.
