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

Skeppsholmen

As it is another warm day, it is very pleasant to be low down in the water. There is a lot to be seen but turning one's neck to look at all the sights pointed out by the guide is very tiresome. So I just concentrate on enjoying the views from one side.

A large variety of craft are anchored along the shore of Skeppsholmen.
