history
The time after commissioning until 1945
After being commissioned as an upper deck steamer , the ship ran for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG) until 1923 . After the cessation of business operations in 1923, the ship sailed for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDA), which was newly founded in 1923 . The white painting of the ships, which was customary from 1926, earned it the name White Fleet . It had a steam steering engine and a wheelhouse. The steam control machine was built by the Übigau shipyard of the Deutsche Elbschiffahrts-Gesellschaft, chain with factory no. 289. In terms of size, it is comparable to the town of Wehlen, built in 1879 and so named since 1962 . According to today's standards, the number of passengers is likely to be around 400.
On September 20, 1909, the namesake of the ship, Kaiser Wilhelm II , traveled with the Saxon King Friedrich August III. by ship from Dresden to Meissen . In 1913, the ship collided with the Auguste Victoria in the fog between the Albertbrücke and the Carolabrücke .
In the years 1920-1922 the ship was due to difficult economic conditions after the end of World War launched .
In October 1919, like all ships bearing the name of a monarch or a monarchy, it was renamed and given the name Blasewitz . In 1924 a paddle boat was run over and one of the inmates drowned.
On May 5, 1927, the ship collided in the fog with the third pillar of the Pirna Elbe bridge . It lay across the bridge. The left wheel arch was damaged.
In the winter of 197/28 the ship was painted white.
On June 19, 1931, the Blasewitz collided with the steamer Bayern in Bad Schandau . A paddle wheel was damaged.
On September 15, there was a grounding in Bodenbach due to low water . The ship was leaked.
In the summer of 1943, like all steamers , the Blasewitz was camouflaged. Nothing is known about their use in World War II .
The time after 1945
In 1946 it was incorporated into the newly founded Soviet State Oderschiffahrts-AG (SOAG) and on July 3, 1946, it was confiscated as a reparation payment and transferred to the Soviet Union . In the shipyard in Roßlau or the shipyard in Aken , the superstructures and wheel arches were removed in order to be able to pass the low bridges and narrow locks on the way to Stettin . After crossing the Baltic Sea , the ship was used as a transport ship in the Leningrad area. Nothing is known about the further whereabouts.
The steam engine
The steam engine was a high-pressure, inclined, two-cylinder composite steam engine with injection condensation. Like the two-flame tube cylinder boiler, it was built by the Übigau shipyard of the Deutsche Elbschiffahrts-Gesellschaft, Ketten, with factory no. 268. The power was 190 hp. The steam boiler had a steam pressure of 10 bar . The steam engine worked on two side paddle wheels.
