The paddle steamer Maria was built in the Blasewitz shipyard in 1859 . The ship was under the name of Queen Maria with the hull number 2 to set keel . In 1867 it was renamed Maria , 1900 Schnackenburg and 1903 Crown Prince Wilhelm .

The time up to 1900

After commissioning as a smooth-deck steamer in 1860, the ship sailed for the United Saxon-Bohemian Steamship , which was converted into the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG) in 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 .

The steam engine was overhauled in the winter of 1869/70. New cylinders and a new upper machine frame (upper frame) were installed. In 1883 the old three-flame tube suitcase boiler taken over from Queen Maria II was replaced by a new two-flame tube suitcase boiler. In autumn 1899 the ship was sold to the Heuer shipping company in Schnackenburg .

The time after the sale

It was used under the name Schnackenburg . In 1903 it was sold to the Otto and Paul Wernecke shipping company in Magdeburg and chartered by the Stahlberg shipping company under the name of Crown Prince Wilhelm . On June 25, 1906, the ship sank on the Elbe near Magdeburg Cathedral . After recovery and overhaul, it was sold to Russia. Nothing is known about the further whereabouts.

The steam engine

The steam engine, like the three-flame tube suitcase boiler, comes from Queen Maria II, which was commissioned in 1847 . The machine was a low-pressure, two-cylinder, twin-cylinder, oscillating steam engine with injection condensation. Like the trunk boiler, it was built by the English mechanical engineering company John Penn and Sons .
