Salt winds beat against the ship’s portholes at Auktionsfirma Kenneth Svensson in Kalmar.
It’s high time to come aboard, and for anyone with a maritime interest (it’s enough just to stand on the quay and dream), nearly 90 lots of varying character await.

Here too are the printed materials — from the Swedish American Line and, not least, Johnson Line (whose logo even adorns a jogging suit).
And then there are the models. Some of them fit inside bottles, where—by what can only be described as a touch of magic—ships have been set afloat, masts raised and sails unfurled.
