The annual Hanko Regatta is a popular attraction in this southernmost tip of Finland. A Finnish frontier port that was the site of an important naval battle between Sweden and Russia in 1714, Hanko became part of the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland, and was a favoured retreat for vacationing Tsarist royalty.
