The text on top of the model is in a combination of Swedish and English. The Swedish text reads:
"Galärvarvet år 1942
Detta område togs i bruk år 1723 som flottans galärvarv. Efterhand blev det en del av Stockholms Örlogsvarv där flottans fartyg underhölls och reparerades. Örlogsvarvet flyttades till Musko år 1969 varvid många av byggnaderna revs. Vasamuseet byggdes på Galärvarvet åren 1987-1990."
[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
