The paddle steamer Kronprinz was built in 1858 in the Blasewitz shipyard. The ship was laid down with hull number 1 . It was the first own new building at the Blasewitzer shipyard. It was named after Albert von Sachsen .
The time until 1887
After commissioning as a smooth-deck steamer , the ship drove for the United Saxon-Bohemian Steamship , 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 1871 the ship underwent a general overhaul. The ship's bottom, deck and wheel arches were renewed. In 1883 the existing boiler was replaced by a used one. This probably came from the Pillnitz, which was scrapped in 1883 . In the fall of 1887 the ship was decommissioned and scrapped.
The steam engine
The steam engine was an oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with injection condensation and an output of 110 hp. The steam engine and the two-flame tube suitcase boiler were built by the English mechanical engineering company John Penn and Sons . In the course of the scrapping, the boiler built in 1883 was scrapped, while the Kaiser Wilhelm built in 1887 received the machine.
