Time for a few water crafts. Queen Silvia celebrated her 80th birthday a while back. So the Norwegian Royal Family paid her a visit. They arrived in style on the HNoMY Norge. The Royal Yacht of the King of Norway. Which is the ship in the first two photos. Next, the commuter boat M/S Hamnskär moored at Riddarholmskajen. It will take you to Solna strand with stops at Lilla essingen, Stora Essingen, Alviks strand and Hornsbergs strand. Solna is a neighboring municipality to Stockholm, btw. Fourth, a typical archipelago ferry. The M/S Västan at Strömkajen, near the Nationalmuseum and the Grand Hotel. It started its life as a steamship some 120 years ago. Today it runs on a diesel engine. Next, a visitor from the US, spotted at Skeppsbrokajen across the street from the Royal Palace in the old town. A boat owned by John W. Henry, who also owns a couple of football clubs and what have you. Oh, and if you would like to buy it from him, you need to cough up around $90 million. In the fifth photo a ship at Riddarholmskajen with an interesting history. Today, with the name Mälardrottningen. And lastly, photographed from the City Hall bridge, two people out in a motorboat at Riddarfjärden.

As different ais they may look they all do need water to function.
Very impressive! John Henry owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team and the fans are very pissed at him because he won't spend some money for elite players. :)
That is a nice way for the royal family from Norway to visit.
John Henry travels in luxury....just like the royals.
The watercrafts do pose a serene beauty
