The paddle steamer Bohemia was built in the Blasewitz shipyard in 1863 . The ship was laid with the hull number 8 on the keel .
history
After commissioning, the smooth-deck steamer drove for the United Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company , which was converted into the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG) in March 1867 . 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 .
In order to avoid the access of the Kingdom of Prussia , the ship was relocated to Theresienstadt in May 1866 in the run-up to the Austro-Prussian War and only relocated to Dresden after the end of the war in August 1866.
In the winter of 1872/73 the ship received a new two-flame tube suitcase boiler. In 1889 this boiler was replaced by a new two-flame tube suitcase boiler from the Saxon Steamship and Mechanical Engineering Company of the Austrian Northwest Steamship Company. During the renovation work, the ship received patent paddle wheels.
In the years 1919-1922 the ship was at the end of the due to difficult economic conditions World War launched .
In 1927 the ship was decommissioned and scrapped. At the time, at 63 years of age, it was the oldest ship in the fleet. The steam engine was given to the German Museum in Munich .
The steam engine
The machine was an oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with injection condensation with an output of 95 hp. Like the first two-flame tube suitcase boiler, it was built by the Prague ship and mechanical engineering company Ruston & Co. The original use of the machine, built in 1857, is unknown.
