history
The ship served part of the transport route from the arms factories (including Finspångs styckebruk ) in Finspång and the area around Lotorp and Hällesta to the cannon square in the port of Norrköping . It was built in 1873 for Fiskeby Jernvägs & Ångbåtsbolag , which was responsible for traffic on this route.
The iron Glan sailed from Finspång the lakes Skutbo and Glan to Norrköping. The ship was built with the dimensions 21.53 × 4.25 × 2.34 m and supplied with a steam engine with 121 kW. The shipping company was converted to Fiskeby Fabriks AB in Fiskeby around 1888 and later in 1891 to P. Jansson & Co in Norrköping.
After the engine and boiler had been dismantled, the ship was brought to Norrköping in carts of oxen. In the winter of 1895/96 it was converted into a tugboat and renamed Betty . The owner shipping company was converted into a joint stock company in 1900 , where the ship was given the unofficial name Ran .
In 1905 the ship was acquired by Olof Martelleur in Sundsvall , who had it converted into a passenger ship named Ottilia . After that, the ship changed hands several times: JP Sjögren (1911–1916), Adolf Nordberg (1916–1918) and Fredrik Hägg (1918–1919), all in Sundvall. The latter had the ship converted into a tugboat.
Converted to Mälaren in 1919 , it was acquired by the Västerås port authority . This in turn meant a change of name to Arosia . In 1927 it was sold to E. Eriksson in Nockeby and in 1932 it was bought by Olof A. Granath in Enköping , who converted it into a cargo ship on his own and gave it the name Hans .
Around 1948 Per Frans Sivert Gustafsson took over the boat in Harö , at the beginning of the 1950s it was sold to Roslagsbro and scrapped around 1952.
