Naval and Maritime museums in Sweden!

[Mahan]

If you visit Sweden, do not miss the oppurtunity to visit these museums.

In Stockholm:
www.sjohistoriska.se/en (General Maritime history)
www.vasamuseet.se (The only preserved 17th Century ship in the world. A must if you are i Stockholm!)

In Stockholm you can stay and live on a full rigged ship that today is a hotel. Pls check: www.stf-af-chapman.booking.com


In Gothenburg:
www.maritiman.se/en (Lots of ships to visit, including a sailing full rigger, a submarine and a destroyer)
http://goteborg.se/wps/portal/sjofartsm/english (General Maritime history and an aquarium)

In Karlskrona:
www.marinmuseum.se/en (Mainly about Swedish Naval Forces through the years)


Welcome to Sweden and our Maritime heritage!

Thanks for the links, Pete. The hotel one did not work for me.

Interesting exhibit at the General Maritime History - sailor tattoos; it could be insightful as to sailor beliefs, values, etc.
