The paddle steamer Koenig Johann (II) was built in 1862 in the Blasewitz shipyard. The ship was laid with hull number 5 on the keel . It was named after the Saxon King Johann .
The time after commissioning
Parts of the scrapped Koenig Johann were used to build the ship . After being commissioned as a smooth deck steamer , the ship was operated by the United Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company , which was converted into the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG) in March 1867 .
In order to remove the access of the Kingdom of Prussia , the ship was moved to Theresienstadt in May 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War .
In 1874 the twin machine was converted into a compound machine. The power increased from 110 hp to 125 hp. At the same time, the suitcase boiler was replaced by a cylinder boiler. In the winter of 1876/77 the ship was overhauled. In 1885 the paddle wheels were converted into patent paddle wheels.
In the fall of 1891 the ship was decommissioned and scrapped. Bad Schandau , which went into service in 1892, received the steam engine and the boiler .
The steam engine
The steam engine and the two-flame tube suitcase boiler were built by the Swiss engineering company Escher Wyss & Co. in Zurich . It was an oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with an output of 110 hp. In 1874, Escher Wyss & Co. converted the machine into a high-pressure two-cylinder composite steam engine with injection condensation. The power was 125 PSi . The old boiler was replaced by a two-flame tube cylinder boiler with 5 bar steam pressure .
