history

The Hertha , completed in 1864 at the Möller & Holberg shipyard in Grabow near Stettin , was built on behalf of the correspondent shipper Kommerzienrat Heinrich Israel from Stralsund. In 1865, Hertha opened passenger and freight traffic on the line from Stralsund via Schaprode , Wittower ferry and Breege to Polchow . From Stralsund and Breege on Rügen, she was the first line steamer to call at the island of Hiddensee. Hiddensee travelers had to be disembarked and embarked on the ferry island .

The ship went together with the company in 1877 after the death of Heinrich Israel to the Stralsund councilor and businessman Leopold von Seeckt, then in 1887 to the captain Albert Klickow from Breege. Hertha stayed in service between Stralsund, Hiddensee and Rügen until the demolition in 1893.

technology

The Hertha was an iron side-wheel steamer with schooner rigging and built as a barge . The twin steam engine with an output of 100 hp drove two side gears.
