HSwMS Saga

HSwMS Saga was a steam corvette of the Royal Swedish Navy.

Saga was used for training sailors. During the winter season she served as a depot ship for the recruit unit. Saga was used as a cadet vessel from 1878 to 1887, and from 1894 to 1909, later being used as a barracks ship. She was decommissioned in 1926. Her propeller is displayed outside the Naval Museum in Karlskrona.

In June 1902, Saga visited Sheerness.
