Approaching Stockholm, Sweden

"The approach to Stockholm is one of the loveliest things in the world. It was an exquisite day, all blue and gold, as our ship threaded her way through the narrow channel between tree-covered islands. There are said to be eight thousand islands in the Stockholm group alone, and they seemed to surge up around us like a school of porpoises.

"Gulls followed the ship, gliding and wheeling; every now and then one of them would make a side-slip and then recover its balance.

"The water was glassy and the piled-up clouds were mirrored in it, even more lovely in the reflection than in the reality. The ship seemed to be floating along in an enchanted sea."

Rose Kerr, The Cruise of the "Calgaric" August 12th-29th, 1933, London: The Girl Guides Association.
