One more gun from the glorious battleship 'Svea'. It is installed on the northern cape of the island to protect a minefield along the route of enemy ships to Stockholm. This type of rapid-firing guns were made at the Swedish enterprises Finspongs bruk and Maxim-Nordenfeldt for the needs of the fleet and for coastal artillery. There are two such weapons at the fort.
