Sankt Erik, Historical icebreaker vessel in Stockholm, Sweden
The Sankt Erik measures 61 meters in length and 17 meters in width, featuring two triple-expansion steam engines for navigating through frozen waters.
Built in 1915 at Finnboda Shipyard, the vessel operated under the name Isbrytaren II until 1958, maintaining clear channels around Stockholm until its retirement in 1977.
The vessel represents Swedish maritime engineering excellence through its preserved steam engines, which remain the most powerful functioning reciprocating engines in Sweden.
Visitors can explore the ship at its mooring location near the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, where it functions as a working life museum.
The vessel contains heeling tanks that fill with seawater, enabling the ship to rock sideways and create wider navigable channels through ice.
