An old style sailing boat arrives in Grisslehamn on Väddö island, Sweden, during Postrodden, a yearly race to commemorate how the mail was transported between Sweden and Finland in the old days. The old mail route runs across the Baltic Sea between Eckerö in Åland, Finland, and Grisslehamn, Väddö, in the Stockholm Archipelago. The men on board are dressed in the type of clothes that used to be worn by the fishermen of the area.
