History of M/S Djugården 7
The boat was built by Järnvägs AB Stockholm-Saltsjön in 1893 and was then called Saltsjöbaden 1. The passenger ship was the very first ferry of its type and appearance. It was built as a passenger ferry and ran in Stockholm between Stadsgården and Karl XII's Torg.

In 1937, the ferry was sold to Västerås and she was named Elba II. In 1953, she was named Djurgården 7 when Stockholms Ångslups AB acquired her. In 1971, the old steam engine was replaced with a diesel engine when Waxholmsbolaget took over her. Since 2004, she has been part of Stromma's fleet as a sightseeing, mingling and transport boat.

In 2021, the boat left Klara Mälarstrand in Stockholm and went via the Göta Canal down to Gothenburg.
