Långholmen

It was used as a temporary military camp for soldiers serving in the Swedish Army fleet during the Russo-Swedish War (1788–1790).

[5] On 8 August 1993 a JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft crashed on Långholmen during a display at the Stockholm Water Festival.

[6] A sculpture in stainless steel by Thomas Qvarsebo, depicting a paper plane with its nose drilled into the ground, was placed on the spot in 1994.

[7] Långholmen Football club was founded in 2002 and is now an important part of the sporting and social life of the expatriate community in Stockholm.

The decision to have the club's home shirt with black and white stripes is indeed homage to the island and its history.
