List of ground sea steamships

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the era of steam shipping on Lake Constance from 1817 to 1967, 74 steamers were in use: 67 paddle steamers in passenger service , two steam tractors and five screw steamers . The paddle steamers were 35 smooth-deckers without superstructures up to the year of construction 1870 . Six of them received salon superstructures in the 1880s. The paddle steamers used on the Untersee and Hochrhein were basically smooth-deckers. In 1871 the first of a total of four deck saloon steamships was built, after that almost only the half saloon steamships with side-wheel drive typical of Lake Constance. From the 1920s, the steamships were gradually replaced by motor ships. Only one of them, the Hohentwiel , has been largely restored to its original state. Since the 1990s, two steam boats with approval as a passenger ship have been added.

This list is subdivided according to the five countries bordering Lake Constance at the time: Grand Duchy of Baden , Kingdom of Württemberg , Kingdom of Bavaria , Austria-Hungary and the Swiss Confederation . Years indicate the year of construction and scrapping, or the year of purchase and sale, or the year of a historical document.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The term “steam boat” is ambiguous. In addition to the meaning used here as a small screw steamer, it was generally used for steam ships at the beginning of steam shipping on Lake Constance
