Ferries from Finskan (Tjurkö) brygga

The two legs from this jetty differ by a factor of eight. Kungsholmen is five minutes away; Dragsö takes 40 — the longest crossing in the Karlskrona archipelago's scheduled network — with Drottningskär at 10 minutes in between.

Fourteen sailings a week on each leg, twice a day, seven days a week: 09:30 and 14:30 to Kungsholmen, 09:35 and 14:35 to Drottningskär, and the Dragsö boats arriving at 10:55 and 15:55.

Finskan is on Tjurkö, an island quarried for granite through the nineteenth century — the stone went to Berlin and to the Kiel Canal, and the workforce included the Finnish labourers whose presence the place name still records. The 40-minute Dragsö run threads the whole width of the archipelago to reach a bathing island on the far side of Karlskrona, which is why it takes eight times as long as a hop to the next island over.
