General data

The development of the ship type I was based on a new building program by HADAG that was started in the late 1940s to replace the shipping company's outdated fleet . Five main ship types were planned, which were tailored to specific requirements of port traffic. Type I was specially developed for the Reiherstieg line, a ferry connection from the baumall , later from the St. Pauli landing stages , through the Reiherstieg to the Kattwykhafen. The six ships were built in two series. Four ships were built in 1952 and 1953, two more in 1956. With one exception, they were named after Hamburg districts.

Technical specifications

Only the two ships of the second series had the small open deck at the stern. The upper deck was only created through a renovation.

The ships were 21.24 meters long and 5.80 meters wide. The draft was 1.48 meters, the side height 1.95 meters. They were built flat, to be able to drive around the bridges at the port and had a riveted hull made of steel . The first four 1952 and 1953 had a ships built up to the rear closed deck structure , the two 1956 in service a shorter passenger compartment, to which a small free deck joined.

The ships were powered by diesel-electric technology . The main engine was a MAN - marine diesel engine of the type W8V with eight cylinders operating at a rotational speed (/ min 1) a power output of 230 of 860 revolutions per minute  PS reached. The drive generator and drive motor came from AEG . The generator had a nominal voltage of 440  volts and a nominal output of 145  kilowatts  (kW). The drive motor developed 180 hp and reached a maximum speed of 1500 rpm, which was reduced to 450 rpm by a gearbox , type SA 32, from the manufacturer Lohmann & Stolterfoht . The ships were propelled by a propeller made by Theodor Zeise with a diameter of 1.17 meters and reached a speed of 9.5  knots .

The DC electrical system had a voltage of 110 volts. An AEG generator was installed, which had a nominal voltage of 115 volts and an electrical nominal output of 12 kW at 2500 rpm and 8 kW at 1560 rpm. For the electrical supply when the main engine was at a standstill, there was a small auxiliary diesel engine with an output of 16 hp at 1000 rpm of the type MWM KDW 415 Z, which drove a generator with an output of 10 kW.

Ships

The six Type I ships were built by various shipyards in Hamburg. Three ships are still in service, two are no longer operational and one was scrapped .

Kattwiek

The Capt. Morgan , formerly Kattwiek , sails as an excursion boat in Berlin.

The Kattwiek , named after an Elbe island, was built under construction number 517 at the Johann Oelkers shipyard. It was launched on October 31, 1952, was delivered to HADAG on March 27, 1953 and entered in the inland shipping register on April 2, 1953 under the number 18 898 . The ship collided on October 18, 1961, when it crossed the Elbe fairway , with the coaster Falke , which was traveling down the Elbe . The superstructure of the Kattwiek was badly damaged and seven people were slightly injured. HADAG sold the ferry in April 1985. The Kattwiek was rebuilt in Hamburg and given a sundeck before it was transferred to Berlin . There it goes in Capt. Morgan renamed the ship since then.

Wilhelmsburg

The Wilhelmsburg , named after the Hamburg district of the same name , was built on the Ottensener Eisenwerke . It was built under construction number 459, was launched on December 16, 1952, was delivered on April 2, 953 and entered in the inland shipping register under number 18 897. The ship was renamed Holstentor on May 2, 1980 and sold to Lübeck . A short time later it was taken over by the Förde shipping company Seetouristik in Flensburg . The ship, which was renamed Orion , has been in Berlin since 1985 . It is no longer operational.

The Wilhelmsburg was the second HADAG ship to bear this name. The first ship was a Weser ferry built in 1914, which was used as the city ​​of Vegesack in Vegesack until 1922 and then went to Hamburg as Wilhelmsburg for the Reiherstieg ferry service. From August 1, 1939 to August 16, 1940, the ship belonged to HADAG. Since September 26, 2008, another HADAG ferry, a Type 2000 ferry, has been bearing this name.

Waltershof

The Waltershof , also named after a Hamburg district , was launched on January 29, 1953 under construction number 1089 at the Gustav Wolkau shipyard . The ship was delivered to HADAG on May 13, 1953. The entry in the inland shipping register under number 18 938 was made on September 4, 1953. The ship was sold by HADAG on April 4, 1978. The new owner from Looperskapelle, a district of the Dutch community Schouwen-Duiveland , renamed it Karin and used it as a tourist ship off the Dutch coast. The ship is no longer serviceable in Hasselt .

A type 2000 ferry has been bearing this name again since February 17, 2004.

Bettors

The weather was built under construction number 806 at the Norderwerft . She was the only ship of the type that did not receive the name of a Hamburg district. Wetter is a Low German name for receiving waters for marshland drainage. The Wetter was launched on July 21, 1953, delivered on July 30, 1953 and entered in the inland shipping register on August 6, 1953 under the number 18 931. The ship sank unexpectedly off the Sandtorkai on January 29, 1973. It was supposed to be used as a night ferry in the harbor and was moored to a pontoon when it suddenly leaked and quickly sank over the stern. The bets were lifted the following day and sold for scrapping on May 30, 1975.

Wandsbek

The Wandsbek , named after the Hamburg district , was the second Type I ship to be built at the Norderwerft. She was launched under construction number 822 on June 19, 1956, was delivered to HADAG on September 5, 1956 and entered in the inland shipping register on September 14, 1956 under number 19 286. In 1978, the ship was converted for trips on the Elbe Lateral Canal between Geesthacht and Lüneburg at the Pohl & Jozwiak shipyard. The Wandsbek received a new interior with facilities for catering and a new KHD SBF12M716 engine with 12 cylinders and an output of 313 kW. The speed of the ship was increased to 11 knots. In 1985 the Wandsbek was sold to Datteln and renamed Astor . She drove on the local canals until 1994. On April 1, 1999, the ship went to the then newly founded Ückeritzer Personenschifffahrt. In 2009 the Astor will travel from Karlshagen to Ruden Island , Wolgast and on the Peene River .

The former Farmsen operates as the Czech Boat on the Vltava in Prague.

She was launched on August 13, 1956, was delivered on September 14, 1956 and entered in the inland shipping register with the number 19 287. The ship was sold to MBB on April 1, 1980 and used between Teufelsbrück and Finkenwerder .
