  • a steel vessel built as a Swedish navy schoolship in Karlskrona in 1899 (the wooden "Najaden" is a sister ship)
  • due to the hull measurements of 49m (length) and 7.8m (breadth), special considerations were taken into account as regards the rigging, i.e. some gear was positioned outside the ship
  • mostly used in the North and Baltic Seas, the vessel made its last voyage along the Swedish coast in 1949
  • the full-rigged "Najaden" and "Jarramas" were decommissioned in 1946/47 and replaced by "Falken" and "Gladan" (gaff-sail schooners)
  • The city of Karlskrona bought the "Jarramas" as a museum ship in 1950. She now lies beside the replica of the "Hiorten" (1692) in front of the newly-designed Karlskrona naval museum.
