M/S Polfors

M/S Polfors
If you walk the whole stretch of Söder Mälarstrand from Slussen to the bridge over to the Långholmen island, you will have seen all 24 ships moored there. This is the last one. M/S Polfors. It was built in Denmark back in the 1960s. Based in Dragør, it sailed around the world as a break bulk cargo ship. The city of Stockholm bought the ship in the late 1970s to use as a school ship. They had it rebuilt and used it for 20 years. Today the ship is owned by Sjömansskolan. A secondary school near Pålsundsbron on Långholmen.
