Abstract

This paper deals with the use of old, preserved ships as ship symbols in society. Emanating from this is also a special treatment of the projection of the symbolism of the "regal ship" in Swedish society since the 17th century. 'Regal ship" was a denomination, during the 17th century, of big, sailing warships in the Swedish navy. In this connection is also traced and discussed the ideology adhering to the symbolic expressions around the "regal ships" in past and present society.
