Galärvarvskyrkogården (literally Galley Shipyard Cemetery) is a cemetery on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. It has about 1,300 burial sites and an area of approximately 0.9 hectares.
History
Galärvarvskyrkogården in Djurgården was established in 1742 and was the last in a series of landscaped cemeteries for naval use. Recently, an encircling wall and a memorial grove has been built.[1] In 1963 the remains of ten men and two women found on the salvaged wreckage of Vasa was buried here.[2] On September 28, 1997, a national memorial to the Estonia disaster of September 28, 1994, when 852 people lost their lives, was inaugurated (see Estonia Monument).
