1679 A shipyard with two pile beds began to be built on the eastern side of Vämö. Nature made this a good place, as the land sloped down to the sea so that the launching of newly built ships could take place smoothly.

However, the king was not satisfied with the location chosen by the Admiralty, but wanted the shipyard to be located at Trossö and Lindholmen.

A total of about 40 smaller sheds and buildings were built for the yard's staff in connection with the stack beds. Two forges and a residence for the master shipbuilder were also built.

Shipyard workers and tools were moved to the shipyard on Vämö.

Master shipbuilder was Robert Turner.

On August 10, 1680, Karlskrona received its city privileges from Charles XI.

At the shipyard on Vämö, two ships began to be built:

The battleship "Blekinge" with approx. 68 guns and 45 meters long, and the battleship "Halland" with 50 guns. The liners "Blekinge" and "Halland" are launched in 1682 and the liner "Göta Rike" with 84 guns, begins to be built, to be launched in 1684.

"Blekinge" is now deep in the bottom mud in Örlogshamnen. "Halland" is located on the bottom outside Fjäderholmarna in the Stockholm archipelago. "Göta Rike" was renamed "Sverige" in 1685 and "Drottning Ulrika Eleonora" in 1694. Now lies submerged in Örlogshamnen or at Smörasken, since 1712.

Today, there are no directly visible remains of the old naval shipyard or the pile beds on Vämö.

In 1683-1684, the shipyard is moved from Vämö to Trossö, together with the buildings and sheds that were built on Vämö! The shipbuilder's residence had to remain on Vämö, however.

In 1686, the Danish spy and cartographer made a map of the area which was given to the Danish king Christian.
