Boarding point for the ferry to Vallisaari

On the island of Vallisaari, at the nearest point to the fortress on Suomenlinna, boats of all kinds vie with enormous ferries arriving from, and departing for Estonia, Åland and Sweden through what is known as the Gibraltar of the North. The accompanying radio transmisions, inaudible to the naked ear, emerge through the recording process.
