The paddle steamer Bastei was built in 1865 in the Blasewitz shipyard. The ship was named Raudnitz with the hull number 11 to set keel . In 1870 it was named Bastei .
The time after commissioning
After commissioning as a smooth deck steamer , the ship drove for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG). Due to the shallow draft, it was mainly used on the Melnik - Obříství line.
In order to avoid the access of the Kingdom of Prussia , the ship was moved to Theresienstadt in May 1866 in the run-up to the Austro-Prussian War and only returned to Dresden after the end of the war in August 1866.
In 1870 the ship received a new steam engine and a new trunk boiler from the English engineering company John Penn and Sons . After the renovation, it went back under the new name Bastei . In 1874 the ship was lengthened by 6 m.
In the fall of 1893, the ship was decommissioned and scrapped. The steam engine was given to the Salesel , which went into service in 1894 .
The steam engine
The steam engine and the two-flame tube suitcase boiler were made by Wilhelmshütte, Akt.-Ges. built for mechanical engineering and iron foundry in Sprottau . According to Jochen Rindt, this was an oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with an output of 75 hp. More likely, however, is a horizontal two-cylinder twin steam engine of the Corliss type.
The machine was already expanded in 1870 and installed in the Libussa built that year . The Raudnitz received a new oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with an output of 96 hp from the English mechanical engineering company John Penn and Sons. The new, larger two-flame tube suitcase boiler also comes from John Penn.
