The Gun Deck

There was full activity on the gun decks during the secession of the Gulf of Finland in 1790. Here you will get to know the crew aboard the ship Dristigheten.

The gun deck is a model in life-size, allowing you to get to know the crew on board Dristigheten (Audacity). You learn about their work on board, how they were dressed and how they worked together firing the cannon.
