S/S Sankt Erik is a historical icebreaker ship located in Stockholm, Sweden. Launched in 1915, it served as the country's first ocean-going icebreaker until it was retired in 1977. Now a museum ship, it is docked at Jagarpiren near the Vasa Museum. Visitors can explore its rich maritime history and enjoy guided tours during the summer months. The ship features a unique design, including a hull shaped to break ice and a ballast system that allows it to navigate through frozen waters. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. The museum is accessible to all, with facilities for those with mobility challenges.
