Lightship Biskopsudden Stockholm Sweden

This design features a photograph of a lightship docked in the Biskopsudden Marina at southern Djurgarden near Stockholm, Sweden on the Baltic Sea. At the centre is the tower housing the lamp above an enclosed cabin and deck. The hull is brightly colored in red and white with the name of the vessel in large white lettering.

Built in 1899 the Lightship entered service as Fyrskepp, Lightship 21. It was decommissioned in 1961 and is no longer in use.


The design is shown on a mousepad but it also appears on a range of gifts
