During the last few hundred years, a great number of the men of Kalmar have been employed in building ships at 'Varvsholmen' (the 'Ship Yard Island') for Swedish as well as foreign ship owners. It is their history and at the same time the shipping history of Kalmar, which is exhibited at the Kalmar Maritime Museum. Seamen of all categories and their families have generously contributed to the creation of this museum by donating objects of many kinds.
