Editing Pirates of the Baltic Sea (section)

====Old City====

Most of the buildings have been replaced by newer construction, but three examples of the original architecture remain. The Lutheran church of Mariehamn, the main building of the Åland Maritime College, and the town hall. Most of the buildings and services are administrative in nature. The Old City is the center of the government of Åland. There is also a hospital, a small airport, and two ports in both eastern and western sides of the peninsula. The ports are mainly for handling cargo and passenger traffic, and for short time berthing. More permanent berths for Buccaneer vessels are available in the New City port. There are residential areas too, the most expensive in Åland. And some hotels, including Hotel Arkipelag, the oldest and most significant one in the city. These days, the hotel houses mainly foreign dignitaries, but also various representatives, including clandestine corporate ones, seeking the goods and services of Åland for their patrons. For Buccaneers to receive an invitation to a meeting in Hotel Arkipelag means that there is a lucrative – and almost certainly risky – assignment available.

Few buccaneers reside in Old City, except for some retired ones who had successful careers.
