On the 14th the ship sailed on to [[Stockholm]], Sweden, thus becoming the first steamship to enter the Baltic Sea.{{cn|date=June 2019}} ''Savannah'' arrived at Stockholm on August 22, and on the 28th was visited by the Prince of [[Sweden and Norway]]. On September 1, an excursion on board the ship around the local islands was arranged, which was attended by the American and other ambassadors, nobles and prominent citizens. While in port at Stockholm, the Swedish government offered to purchase the vessel, but the terms were not attractive enough for Moses Rogers and he rejected the offer. Before leaving, the [[King of Sweden]], [[Charles XIV John]], presented Rogers with the gift of a [[stone and muller]]. On September 5, ''Savannah'' departed for [[Kronstadt]], Russia, arriving there on the 9th.<ref>Smithsonian, pp. 624, 634β635.</ref>
