Mr Monkey aboard the Finngrundet and the Sankt Erik


"I still don't understand why they're not orange"

Mr Monkey squeezed through the gate onto the quay, and decided to visit the lightship first. This is Swedish Fyrskepp nr 25, which was in use from 1903 to 1969. It seems to have spent its entire working life at Finngrundet, 61°1.5' North, 18°31' East. There are two other lightships in Stockholm harbour; Nr 23, Västrabanken, now a houseboat, and Nr 32, Vinga, which is now a house boat for students at an adult education centre.
