The ship arrived in Dresden at the end of May 1847 after its transfer voyage from Magdeburg. After commissioning as a smooth-deck steamer on June 8, 1847, the wooden ship sailed for the Royal Privileged Saxon Steamship Company , which was converted into the United Saxon-Bohemian Steamship in April 1849 .
After 13 years of service, the ship was decommissioned and scrapped at the end of the 1859 season. The steam engine was installed in the successor ship Maria .
The steam engine
The steam engine, like the three-flame tube suitcase boiler, comes from Queen Maria I, who was commissioned in 1837 . The machine was a low-pressure, two-cylinder, twin-cylinder, oscillating steam engine with injection condensation. After the overhaul and improvement of the machine, the power was 120 hp. Like the trunk boiler, it was built by the English mechanical engineering company John Penn and Sons .
