Victory at Spithead, 1805 ⚓️🇬🇧 Victory (104) lies at anchor off the Isle of Wight, proudly flying her full suite of colours: the White Ensign at her stern, the Union Flag at the jackstaff, and the Vice Admiral of the White flag from her foretopmast. 🎨 Derek Gardner

It's finally time! 🇬🇧🛫➡️🛬🇸🇪 #NavalHistory

Arrived right on time, stunning views as we came over the coast. #Stockholm25 #NavalHistory

Cabin with a view! #Stockholm25

Booked in at our accommodation, wasn't happy with the room so paid the extra and upgraded to the Captains cabin 😂 Epic! #NavalHistory #Stockholm25

Today's plan was to finally see the Vasa Museum. Apparently, this involved a night struggling to breathe, a trip in a Swedish ambulance, and most of the day in their lovely A&E. And my very own case of Bronchitis 🤒

I've been back at the cabin for a few hours, and I slept finally! It's time to go and hunt for some dinner. Never one to pass up some Maritime artwork

Lovely evening down down at the waterfront in Old town.

Morning! Better night sleep, but rough morning so far. However, taking it easy and off on a 2.5 hour voyage around the archipelago that makes up Stockholm.

Lovely morning out on the water, a bit on the cooler side, though, mind! Our vessel "Ostana " built in 1906, is still working. #Stockholm25

Spotted this earlier, one for Cdr George Ericson

Well, it's been a generally rough day, headed back to the cabin and slept for most of the afternoon. Unfortunately, I can't wait to be back to my own bed. Well, #Stockholm25 has been a bit of a wash out :-(

Also spotted a possible WW2 landing craft? Stephen Fisher

Rough night, but last day here in Stockholm slowly going to make the most of it. Check out, visit a flag shop, Vasa Museum, collect bags, and then head home. Still going round like patient Zero! #Stockholm25

Even though it's been a rubbish few days, this place we are stopping is amazing. She rocks and gives you that shipboard feeling 😂 #Stockholm25

Something about being able to visit an actual shop. Happy Beck and purchased some flags :) #Stockholm25

The moment is here! #Stockholm25

You can't capture the sense of scale of her. #Stockholm25

Vasa completed, lasted about as long as I dared on my feet. Definitely coming back to spend longer going around her, maybe pick a slightly quieter day. #Stockholm25

A little choppy in the lounge 🌊
