The book Vasaorden /33
"Vasaorden is a glimpse, one of the loveliest, not altogether authentic, but the only one seaworthy from the City on the waters of Elias Martin, of Bellman and of af Chapman, a city that still lives on and is loved in pictures and poems, but only partly remains in reality".
Each time this unique rowing vessel is brought out and appears on the waters of Stockholm, all the spectators experience a feeling of pride.
This
book illustrates one of the most elegant naval traditions in Sweden, that
finds its expression in Vasaorden. She is compared with other preserved
Ceremonial Barges around the world.
The book is richly illustrated with photos, drawings, maps and sketches in colour and in black and white, English text.
Foreword by H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf.

From

An
anthology about the Swedish Monitors and Coastal Armoured Defence Ships.
Summary in English.
Armoured
vessels From John Ericsson to Gustaf V The armoured era of the Swedish
Navy lasted for almost 100 years. It started with the monitor John Ericsson
launched in 1865. Altogether 13 monitors were built during a period of
10 years. The next step in development began with the armoured ship Svea
that sailed for the first time in 1886. The era was to comprise 15 ships.
The last batch were Sverige, Drottning Victoria and Gustaf V. As a result
of a nation wide armoured ship fund raising drive, Sverige, at a very
ceremonious event was launched in Gothenburg in 1915. These ships, which
were the backbone of the Swedish fleet during the Second World War, became
a power factor, much respected in the surrounding world, and may have
contributed to Sweden managing to keep outside the war. In 1954 Drottning
Victoria made her last own-propulsion voyage. Oscar II was the last ship
to be broken up in 1974. The aim has been to create a comprehensive work
on the 29 ships, which constituted the armoured ship era of the Swedish
Navy. The book contains 350 coloured, and black and white, illustrations
and drawings. The monitor Sölve, now a museum ship, is unique, and can
be visited at the Gothenburg Maritime Centre.
