Ships and boats – SMM. • Five larger ships, not counting Vasa. • Close to 200 boats (leisure, naval, commercial) in the boat collection. • Small number of ships on Bareboat Charter.
Historic ships in Sweden. • Private owners. • Non commercial organisations – mainly sailing ships. • Commercial – steam, motor and sail. • Museum ships – mixed collection.
SMM´s role. • Supportive. • ”K-märkning” (”Listed ships”) – recognition of important ships. • Networks, forums. • Preservation of our own ships and boats. • Bare Boat Charter – ships on loan.
SMM- ship preservation. • No “official” standard for ship preservation in Sweden. • Available resources (funds, personnel) key factors. • Committed to our own ships “forever”.
Ship preservation – problemsSMM – Icebreaker Sankt Erik. • First seagoing icebreaker in Sweden (1915). • Large and complicated to maintain. • Fantastic steam engines.
SMM – lightship Finngrundet. • Early museum ship (1970). • Relic of a bygone era.
SMM – minesweeper Bremön. • Historic context- 2nd World War. • Fantastic condition.
SMM – missile ship Västervik. • “Pawn from the Cold War”. • Excellent condition. • Frozen in time.
SMM – full rigger Jarramas. • Last sailing ship built in Karlskrona. • Important for the local community. • Ongoing restoration project.
SMM – the restoration of Jarramas. • Long term project. • High standard of craftsmanship. • No modernisation. • Replace like with like as far as possible.
SMM – more about Jarramas. • Restoring the ship is one thing, but how do you tell the story?
SMM -the future for historic ships. • More focus on networks, Bareboat Charter and partnerships. • Probably fewer ships within SMM.
SMM – The end. • Thank you for your time. • Good sailing this summer.
