Audio Walk at Skeppsholmen
Step into history and explore what lies beneath the surface with Vrak's maritime archaeologist Jim Hansson. The audio walk Under the Surface: Skeppsholmen is free and can be enjoyed on your own mobile phone.
Beneath the quays of Skeppsholmen lie the remains of a forgotten world. On this audio walk, Vrak's maritime archaeologist Jim Hansson takes you back to the Skeppsholmen of the 17th and 18th centuries. Hear stories of scuttled ships, archaeological discoveries and the people who lived and worked on the island when it was the heart of the Swedish Navy.
Shipwrecks, artefacts and archaeological remains reveal stories of shipbuilding, sailors and everyday life during a time when Stockholm was emerging as a major maritime city.
Skeppsholmen is filled with traces of the people and ships that helped shape Sweden's history. What's fascinating is that so much still remains beneath the quays, under the water and sometimes right beneath our feet, says Jim Hansson.
