There are twelve ships anchored along the pier at Norra Hammarbyhamnen in Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm. Thirty years ago, this was an industrial zone. Today, maybe 30 000 people call this part of the city home. One of the boats at the pier is Sjöstjernan. The owner, Christofer Andersson did a good job with the ship. I snapped a few photos of the ship last Summer when they were busy renovating it. The ship was originally called Polstjernan. It was constructed as a steamship by Göteborgs Mekaniska Verkstad in 1890. For many years a pilot-ship, until 1929 when it was bought by a brewery and used to ship beer around Lake Vänern until 1970. Today it has a modern Volvo diesel engine.

That ship is quite well taken care of.
It was certainly beautifully restored. It looks so attractive there.
I like the look of it.
A really nice façade to it. The design of the ship is so much better than the ones I see at home here.
