The NJK yacht club in the Helsinki South Harbour


NJK (Nyländska Jaktklubben) is the largest and oldest registered yacht club in Finland. The NJK harbour and clubhouse in the South Harbour are among the classical landmarks of Helsinki. They have been "portraited" by a great number of artists and photographers over the years. 

Here are three versions of the NJK in the old days:

This painting by Albert Edelfelt (Now in the Ateneum art gallery in Helsinki)  is from  1899.
