Description
(Local Name: Sjöfartsmuseet) Stigbergsgatan and Stigbergsplatsen, with the well preserved Gathenhielmska Hus (1710), leads to Göteborg's Shipping Museum (Sjöfartsmuseet), which illustrates the development of shipping, fishing and shipbuilding from the Viking period to the present day; there is also an aquarium.

Adjoining the museum is the Seaman's Tower, 49m/160ft high, topped by Ivar Johnsson's sculpture "Woman by the Sea"; the tower was built to commemorate the seamen who lost their lives in the First World War (good views).
