Helsinki view from 1900

This photograph - here with my colouring - by an unknown photographer shows a scenery from Helsinki´s Southern harbour in 1900 (ab.). The passenger ship is Ebba Munck, which operated the route Helsinki - Vaasa at the time. The freight steamer is one of the FÅA ships, but I do not have any information about its name. 

The black and white photograph is from the Helsinki City Museum´s collection.
