The Dornbusch was a German passenger ship that was primarily used as a seaside resort ship between Stralsund and the islands of Rügen and Hiddensee .
history
In June 1895, the ship ran as Gartz at the shipyard Johannsen & Co. in Gdansk from the stack . In the same year it was put into service for trips on the Oder by the Gartzer Dampfschiffahrts Gesellschaft , which owned the steamship until around 1913 . The Greifenhagener Dampfschiffsreederei , which emerged from the Schwedt-Stettiner Dampfer-Gesellschaft , was the owner of Gartz in the year it was founded in 1921 .
After the Second World War , the ship, renamed Ukraina , was operated as a tug by the Soviet State Oderschiffahrt-Aktiengesellschaft , and from 1949 by its successor, the Deutsche Oderschiffahrt (DOS) .
Acquired by the DSU and renamed Dornbusch , the ship was in passenger service from 1953. During this time, the conversion to a motor ship took place . From January 1, 1957, the Dornbusch belonged to the Stralsund White Fleet . Modernized and rebuilt several times, the Dornbusch was in use between Stralsund, Rügen and Hiddensee until it was decommissioned in the early 1990s.
Later, the Dornbusch lay for a few years in the former naval port of Neuhof (today: Marina Neuhof ) near Brandshagen, southeast of Stralsund, and the plan was to restore the ship to its original state, possibly in a Polish shipyard. Obviously nothing came of these plans. The ship was drained in the Peenemünder Nordhafen around 2000 , and it was probably dismantled around 2003.
technology
The ship, measured at 96 GRT, was 34.10 meters long and 5.07 meters wide. The steamship was equipped with a cylindrical tubular steel boiler . The compound steam engine with 200 HP built in the Union foundry in Königsberg brought the ship to a speed of around 9.5 knots with one screw . No information is available about the diesel engines installed in the 1950s .
The Dornbusch had a crew of four and was designed for 320 passengers.
