af-Chapman
Passing the island of Skeppsholmen we see af-Chapman, a fine three-masted sailing ship.
Seemingly it entered service as the Dunboyne in 1888 and once carried passengers between Ireland and Australia. During World War II it was a Swedish Navy barracks ship.
Since 1949 however it has been used as a Youth Hostel
