The Museum Ships

Moored at the quay outside the Naval Museum are the museum ships, including the full-rigged ship Jarramas, the minesweeper Bremön, the missile boat Västervik, and during the summer months, also the motor torpedo boat T38. By the Sloop and Motor Launch Shed, opposite the museum’s main building, lie sloops – small wooden boats that are still actively sailed today.

  • The Fullrigger Jarramas

    She was completed in the very first years of the 20th century. Today, Jarramas is the shipboy training vessel that became a symbol for an entire city

  • Large gray ship is moored in front of white building. On the side of the ship are the numbers "55".

    The Minesweeper Bremön

    When World War II was at its worst, she and her crew were sent out on dangerous missions, sometimes risking their lives. Today, the minesweeper Bremön lies moored at the Naval Museum’s quay, open to visitors interested in learning more about her fascinating history.

  • A camouflaged ship is moored next to a large white museum building.

    The Missile Ship Västervik

    The trash bins remain unemptied, the bunks still display the names of her last crew, and the fascinating combat information center remains intact. Much has been left untouched since HMS Västervik made her very last voyage in the service of the Swedish Navy in December 1997. A visit on board is like stepping into a time machine.

    The Motor Torpedo Boat T38

    Once upon a time, she was one of the world’s fastest warships, ready to deploy her torpedoes and depth charges during the Cold War era in Europe. The motor torpedo boat T38 is a powerhouse that made a comeback after spending over 40 years on land. During the summer, she is moored outside the museum.
