This evocative image captures the Riddarholm Ship, a remarkable medieval vessel constructed in the 1520s using traditional clinker-built oak techniques. Discovered in the Riddarholm Canal in Stockholm, Sweden, this historical find is now proudly displayed at the Medieval Museum. The Riddarholm Ship is believed to be one of the oldest surviving vessels of its kind in Scandinavia, offering a unique glimpse into the maritime history of the region. The intricately detailed interior of the ship reveals the living quarters and navigation equipment used by its crew during the late Middle Ages.
