The Iris-Jörg is a coaster that was built in 1956 as an Eilenburg for the shipping company Süptitz and Co. near Nobiskrug . The ship, which is now a listed building , is located as a museum ship in the Kehdinger Küstenschiffahrts-Museum in Wischhafen .
history
The ship was built in 1956 as Eilenburg at the Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg . The launch took place on April 19, the handover to the client, the shipping company Süptitz & Co. in Hamburg , on May 24, 1956. The ship was one of six sister ships .
In 1964 the ship was sold to Hans Thode from Hamburg and was given the new name Seestern . Barely a year later, Karl Meier took over the vehicle and named it Iris-Jörg after his two children . In 1982 Hubertus Klose from Stade bought the ship, who gave it up in 2002 for reasons of age.
Technical specifications
The drive of the ship by an MaK - diesel engine (type: MSU 423) with 221 kW power . The engine acts on a propeller . A generator powered by a Deutz diesel engine is available to generate electricity .
The ship had two cargo booms with a load capacity of 1.5 tons each. These were later removed when the ship only transported bulk goods. The 19.98 × 5.50 m loading hatch is provided with a wooden cover that rests on shear sticks and is covered by a tarpaulin . The wooden cover originally consisted of boards that had to be moved individually. These were later combined into covers that could be moved with a retrofitted hatch car. For the transport of wood, the ship is equipped with devices for support piles for deck cargo.
Due to its low construction and folding masts , the ship could also navigate inland waterways and thus transport pit wood from Scandinavia to the Ruhr area .
Museum ship
The Iris-Jörg was bought in 2002 by the municipality of Wischhafen for 32,500 euros and made available to the Kehdinger Küstenschiffahrts-Museum. Wischhafen was the new home port of the ship, which was last based in Hamburg. The ship, which has largely been preserved in its original condition, but was in poor condition when it was bought, was extensively restored with the help of numerous volunteers. The restoration was supported in 2003 by the Lower Saxony Sparkasse Foundation and the Kreissparkasse Stade with 10,000 euros. The hold of the ship can be used for events.
The museum ship is a station in the Lower Elbe Maritime Landscape.
