    Superb find via Google maps, it's free, super interesting and well kept. We visited the ice breaker and the lighthouse boat. Make sure to visit the top of the light house on the light house boat, legend has it that if you tap the bulb three times you can hear the ghost of the first mate who sadly passed on the last voyage. We did so and heard a noise but it may have been from a fellow visitor, spooky anyways! Top work from the team, really enjoyed the vessels and they are well kept and the photos of the crew on the vessels add to their history.

    A good opportunity to see an old icebreaker up close. Well worth a visit

    First off, it is fantastic. The second is that admission is free. There are two ships available for visitation. You may view all of their rooms, the caption's room, the kitchen, the anchor room, and other locations. Having a detailed look at all these locations is pretty amazing. You may tour the larger ship, Sankt Erik, and take a look inside its huge engine room to view everything in detail. Seeing every part of the ships in detail was a very enjoyable experience.

    Brilliant museum. A hidden gem. Roam around three ships for free. If you have boys, bring them there and just let them loose...

    Free and interesting tour of a real icebreaker. Make sure to visit the engine room and check out the massive crankshaft and connecting rods!

    Stumbled upon this whilst walking around Djurgarden. Glad we stopped. There is a lightship and an icebreaker which you can wander on to freely to look around. The lightship is preserved as a museum but has been really well dressed with personal effects in the cabins and tapes of conversations and radio calls going on. There's good information on where it was used and the people who worked on it. The ship is beautifully presented so I think anyone would enjoy a few minutes on it. The Sankt Erik is a seriously impressive icebreaker (its strikingly wide). If you have any oil or steam in your veins you’ll love being able to wander around the engine room. In there you’ll find apparently the most powerful maritime steam engine (2800 hp from 3 cylinders!). Best of all... this and the rest of the ship are still operational. So the engine room has plenty of oily bits and rags about. Limited access if you are not very mobile due to ladder access and steps. The pier is accessible and still with stopping by to see the ships if you're nearby (it's near Vasa and Abba museums).

    A worthwhile little museum where you could easily spend 30 mins to one hour. Free admission and as I understood it they also offer free guided tours on request. No cafeteria but they have bathrooms on the ship.

    Super Museum, das sogar kostenlos ist. Ă„uĂźerst motivierte Mitarbeiter, was wir besonders bei der Frage nach einer Besichtigung des Maschinenraums bemerkt haben. Uns wurden zudem noch viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben.

đź‘Ťđź‘Ť Visited unplanned these nice museum of old ships. They are right at the exit spot of the hop on hop off ship. The entry is for free and the ships can be explored on all levels. Very nice possibility to see how these old ships where operated at former times. Full recommendation to visit.
