HSwMS Gefle

HSwMS Gefle was a steam corvette of the Swedish Navy. She was one of the earliest steam-powered ships of the Swedish Navy, and the first equipped with a propeller. During her service years, Gefle was used on several long expeditions, including to the Mediterranean, West Africa and South America. In 1870, Gefle was dispatched to Le Havre to evacuate Swedish citizens after the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. Admiral and marine artist Jacob Hägg served onboard Gefle early in his career. Gefle was removed from active service in 1890 and shortly thereafter broken up.
