Sailing with S/S Maria in Lake Mälaren, Sweden

            Maria was bought as a renovation project by a friend of my brother, a first mate in the Swedish merchant navy. After a year or two, she was condemned by the ship inspector, due to too much rot, so she was scrapped.

The owner was a pen pal of a school class in Stockholm. On this day, he took the class on a trip to Björkö in Lake Mälaren. On this island was the viking age town of Birka, established at the end of the 8th century AD, the first town in Sweden.
