i KARLSKRONA, SWEDEN The four days, from June 7-11, spent in this small city on the southeastern coast of Sweden were among the most enjoyable of any spent on this cruise. The people of The Land of the Midnight Sun were very hospitable and saw to it that there was something going on every minute to occupy the crew ' s time. Our hosts outdid themselves for it wasn ' t long after we were there that we found our- selves being detailed to parties, dances, banquets and tours. Detailing was necessary so as to make sure that no invitations would be slighted. The streets were immaculate and the buildings showed an interesting contrast of Medieval and 20th century architecture. KARLSKRONA TIME PIECE ' ' r T r r SWEDISH TULIPS OLD SV; ' EDISH CASTLE

Kiel which is in the British Zone, was formerly the main German Naval Base on the Baltii. Demolished submarine pens dotted the Kiel Canal and the shore at the base of the Kiel Bay. These berths for the German U boats were made of steel rcinfortcd concrete slabs about H feet thick. Despite the many air raids on them, they had to be blown up by demolition crews after the war. A new language and the German Deutschemark currency system had to be learned but this was no problem for sailors who wanted to see the wide-open German town. Beer gardens with German folk music are numerous throughout the many streets. In the old town stands the Palace built in the 13th centurj ' , enlarged in the 19th and restored after a fire in 1838. Other buildings are the church of St. Nickolos dating from 1240; the University, founded in 1665 by Christian Albert; the Library and School of I ' orestry; the University and the Schleswig- Holstein Museum.
