Moored on Skeppsholmen's western shore, S/S Orion, a listed historic ship of Sweden, is more than just a sight. Built in 1929 as a service ship for the Swedish Maritime Administration, it served the Trosa - Karlskrona Pilot District until 1956. Decommissioned in 1979, the vessel was revived and moved to Skeppsholmen in 1993 to become a museum ship. Onboard, guests can join knowledgeable guides for a tour that unveils the ship's fascinating history.
