S/Y Ellen

The S/Y Ellen extends 21.76 meters in length and 6.03 meters in width, constructed entirely from oakwood with two distinctive masts at Beckholmen harbor.

Built in 1898, this classical schooner began its journey as a cargo transport vessel in Denmark before becoming a training ship in Swedish waters.

The vessel maintains its role as a working life museum and training facility, teaching maritime traditions and sailing techniques to new generations of sailors.

Regular sailing camps lasting between 8 to 14 days provide participants with opportunities to learn navigation while living aboard the vessel in Stockholm's archipelago.

The vessel requires continuous maintenance by skilled craftsmen who recently reinstalled iron knees to preserve its structural integrity for future maritime education.
