A fleet of 13 moored vessels offers a glimpse into Sweden’s proud maritime history, with Gothenburg long having been the country’s port to the west.
The collection contains boats from various eras, including a 19th century monitor and a submarine from 1962, when neutral Sweden was caught in a delicate Cold War balancing act. An exhibition below the depths onboard HMS Nordkaparen chronicles life at sea at this nervous time.
Every boat has its own story and, still bobbing and floating in the waters of the Göta Älv, Maritiman gives you a real insight into intrepid mariners’ tough lives.
