About the National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum in Stockholm displays models of Swedish vessels and warships from the 17th century and onwards as well as paintings, weapons and uniforms to a total of 100,000 objects. An example is the cabin of the schooner Amphion, a ship that belonged to King Gustav III.
The inmediate surroundings offer statues and sculptures related to the Swedish maritime history.
The museum dates back to 1938 as the Swedish state received a donation by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

Hello,
I visited your fascinating museum some years ago and was very pleased with the reception and information I was given.
I am part of the organisation of the Historic Canoe and Kayak Association, and a recent query concerns open canoes manufactured in Sweden in the 1960s and sold by Tyne Folding Canoes of Twickenham, near London. The canoes, which I believe are cold moulded veneer came in two sizes and feature in the Tyne catalogues for 1964 and 1965.
I have copies of the relevant pages of the canoes which I could send you, together with four photographs.
I wonder whether you are in a position to assist.
Kind regards
Tony
Hello again,
I wrote to you concerning the builders of cold moulded veneer canoes in Sweden in the 1960s on 10 June and am concerned that I have not received a reply from you; in particular that I have a number of photographs of the canoe in question which I should like to send to you.
Additionally we wish to exhibit this canoe at the Thames Traditional Boat Rally on the weekend 16 and 17 July and hoped we may be able to offer more information on this canoe.
Perhaps you would check whether anyone is or has worked on my request for information.
Kind regards
Tony Ford
