Culture

The Foundation’s support of shipping culture is directed towards support that will increase job satisfaction for seafarers.

Seaman’s museum (”Sjömanshusmuseet”)
The Seaman’s museum in Uddevalla maintains the Foundation’s history and assists, through active research and exhibitions, in the further spread of knowledge about the Foundation and the seafarer’s way of life.
The Foundation has supported the creation of this museum and continues to support its activities.
