Watercrafts

The Sightseeing Ride Else Nora Briggen Tre Kronor M/S Segelkronan M/S Östan SL-båt
Time for more photos of water crafts. We start with The Sightseeing Ride. Seeing Stockholm from the water in an electric boat will cost you 260 SEK. A totally silent boat ride, not counting the tour guide... Next up is the Else Nora, a ship I don't think that I have seen before and know nothing about. Nice with the sun on the big sail, though. In the third photo we can see a bit of Briggen Tre Kronor, anchored at Kastellholmen. Built to sail the Baltic Sea for a century, as it said on a website somewhere. Back at Skeppsholmen, where I also snapped the first two photos, we see the M/S Segelkronan which is a restaurant. Leaving Skeppsholmen we continue past Blasieholmen and head for Strandvägen where M/S Östan is just back from a trip to the archipelago with a large chunk of tourists. And lastly an SL commuter boat with Hellstrandska huset in the background. When it was constructed it was the largest residential building in Stockholm with huge apartments with up to ten rooms. These days it is a different story as the building houses offices and also the Irish embassy.
