Maritiman

The Maritiman is the world's largest floating museum, located at Packhuskajen on the Göta River in Gothenburg. It grew out of an effort to save historically significant ships from being scrapped after the harbor lost importance in the 1970s. The municipal foundation was established in 1985, and the museum opened its doors in 1987. King Carl XVI Gustaf officially inaugurated the new facility in 1994. As part of the Swedish military heritage secretariat, the museum houses a collection of ten ships, one of which is currently leased to Chalmers University of Technology. You can tour the various historic vessels right at the dock.
