Suomen Joutsen was a steel-hulled full rigged ship with three square rigged masts. Built in 1902 by Chantiers de Penhoᅢᆱt in St. Nazaire, France.
Suomen Joutsen made eight long international voyages before the Second World War and later served in various support and supply roles during the war.
As Laᅢᆱnnec, the ship served two French owners before she was sold to German interest in 1922 and renamed Oldenburg. In 1930, she was acquired by the Government of Finland, refitted to serve as a school ship for the Finnish Navy and given her current name.
From 1961 on she served as a stationary seamen's school for the Finnish Merchant Navy. In 1991, Suomen Joutsen was donated to the city of Turku and became a museum ship moored next to Forum Marinum.
