Passenger Ships of the Stockholm Archipelago

The 24,000 islands of the Stockholm Archipelago, with the elegant Swedish capital at its heart, are home to a huge variety of passenger ships – from well-known Baltic cruise ferries and the latest international cruise ships to a myriad of local working vessels. The array includes archipelago and commuter ferries, tourist excursion and restaurant ships, and workaday road ferries. Many of the local vessels are true veterans, a remarkable number dating from the 19th-century, often rebuilt and re-engined several times over – while a number of immaculately-maintained steamers also remain in active commercial operation. Passenger Ships of the Stockholm Archipelago aims to give readers an insight into this fascinating, contrasting fleet, showcasing these diverse vessels both in the Stockholm cityscape and the raw, sometimes harsh, but always beautiful archipelago.
