Nine historic water airports in the Nordics (Scandinavia) are included.
They were used for early air routes between capital cities, from 1923 to 1936.
Land airports opened in 1936, and the water airports were closed shortly after.
Sweden:
ESW0 Stockholm/Lindarangen - 3km NE city centre
ESW3 Gotland/Tingstade - 20km N Visby
ESW4 Kalmar/Ango - 1km NE city centre
ESW5 Gothenburg/Torslanda - 10km W city centre
Finland:
EFW1 Helsinki/Katajanokka - in city centre, to southeast
EFW3 Mariehamn - in eastern harbour
Estonia:
EEW1 Tallinn - west of modern airport
Denmark:
EGW1 Copenhagen/Kastrup-Old, also with grass rwy! - just SE of today's Kastrup
Norway:
ENW1 Oslo/Gressholmen - on island 3km SW city centre.
ICAO-codes are fictitious.

I hope you will enjoy flying old style from these old airports.

Awesome seaplane bases! I have an issue with Stockholm though, the buildings behind the docks are in a deep hole. https://i.imgur.com/5TaUWk5.jpg
