The Swedish maritime-studies collection ranges from early modern sea routes and the Vasa to prize papers, naval symbolism, wrecks, collections, and Baltic memory. Its essays show how archaeology, material culture, national identity, and maritime landscapes can illuminate naval history beyond battle narratives. The varied contents also connect medieval naval architecture with twentieth-century ideas about Swedish officers and national identity.
