Naval museum : courage, benvolence, manliness & virtue.

"This book is about one of the most attractive of the many museums in Sweden, the Naval Museum in Karlskrona. Four writers have chosen to approach the museum and the collections from their own particular spheres of interest. We invite you to take part in a tour of both the history of the museum and the Swedish navy. You will meet such prominent individuals as the brilliant naval architect Fredric af Chapman and the Admiralty sculptor Johan Tornstrom, the man behind the magnificent figureheads in the museum. In addition, extracts from contemporary diaries serve to give a very personal aspect of naval history."--Provided by the publisher.
