Maritiman is a Maritime museum in Gothenburg. It is th largest floating shipping museum in the world.
Near the Gothenburg opera house, the world’s largest floating ship museum is made up of 20 historical crafts, including fishing boats, a light vessel and a firefighter, all linked by walkways. Shinny down into the 69m-long submarine Nordkaparen for a throat-tightening glimpse into underwater warfare. Another highlight is the labyrinthine 121m-long destroyer Smaland, which saw service from 1952 to 1979.
Maritiman has 20 unique vessels, boats and barges that are all moored at Packhuskajen in central Göteborg. This museum will help to recall a vanished era of Göteborg’s shipyard and maritime history.
