The Baltic Sea is located in Northern Europe, bounded by the Scandinavian Peninsula, the mainlands of Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and the Danish islands.
The Baltic Sea is linked to the White Sea by the White Sea Canal and directly to the North Sea by the Kiel Canal.
The flow of the rivers into the Baltic is quite high, however, and as a result the salinity of water in the Baltic Sea is somewhere between freshwater and seawater, known as brackish water.

Although a separate incarnation from the Baltic, it was still principally given form by the Baltic and despite the teething problems which remained as with any new venture involving two separate organisations 1902 was set as the date for the new organisation to move into the building at St Mary Axe.
Readers of The Baltic may recall from the previous issue of the magazine, John Duggan's highly descriptive account of how the foundation stone of the Baltic Exchange was raised after the tragic IRA bombing had destroyed the building on 10 April 1992.
The Baltic shipowners were relieved to discover that the Government's policy was to be a licensing system, 'the main effect of which was to control freight rates, and the Government was going to run the country's merchant shipping through the trade as it was doing with food'.

 The Observer | Review | Baltic exchange
The Baltic is a big, gawky, piebald mongrel, with its patches of yellow and brown brick, fragments of orange steel and grey concrete betraying its mixed parentage.
The conversion of the Baltic is a key part of a wider strategy to turn the Tyne from the decayed edges fringing two divided cities into a shared centre for them both.
The Baltic is organised as a series of galleries and performance spaces stacked up one on top of the other, linked by lift, an arrangement that is closer to a department store than an art space.

The Helsinki Stock Exchange is thus a typical example of a smaller stock exchange faced with the necessity to review its options and decide on a strategy for the future.
The co-operation between the stock exchanges in the two neighbouring countries has been characterized as being unique in the world as it, in fact, enlarges the Helsinki home market across the Gulf of Finland and overnight made the securities of the 33 companies listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange accessible to Finnish investors.

Founded 250 years ago in a coffee house called the Virginia and Baltic, it witnessed British merchants grow to such importance that by the end of the 19th century, most of the world's ships were British-owned and British-crewed, ferrying British goods throughout the British Empire.
The industry declined along with the Empire, but the Baltic has continued to thrive and its brokers now find ships for nearly half the world's cargoes.
Its marble-halled headquarters were demolished by an IRA bomb in 1992, when a doorman was killed, and although that site has been sold to the builders of a skyscraper shaped like a gherkin, the exchange has found new, if rather downmarket, premises.
