Part 1 of a documentary about church boats (kirkkovene), long rowing boats, which carried parishoners, sometimes really long distances, to Sunday service. The church boat was usually built and owned by many households together. The footage for this documentary was shot in 1938, but the commentary is from 1957.

  • You should check out the "Isien Työt" DVDs. You can order them for free if you live in Finland.

  • Could you tell what poetry is at the beginning? Author and title? And above all the translation? :)

  • Thank you for this historical film! It´s great to see the people going by boat.... :)
