Sveaborg's Helsingfors, 1750

Helsingfors in 1750 is a small Swedish wooden town being reshaped by the new island fortress Sveaborg rising at the harbour mouth. The walk passes the fortress's bastions and dockworks, the town's low timber houses and wooden parish church, the market shore and quays, and the daily bustle where garrison officers, shipwrights and stone-cutters meet taverns and workshops.

34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Helsinki as it stood in 1750 (“History of Helsinki”).
