The Pillnitz paddle steamer was built in the Blasewitz shipyard in 1857 . The ship was named town of Meissen on down Kiel . It was the second ship that was built in parts at the shipyard. The manufacturer of the ship parts was the shipbuilding company WU Pearce in Ludwigshafen / Rh .

The time until 1883

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 . The iron ship had a wooden ship floor. This was renewed in 1860.

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 ship was lengthened in 1873/74, which reduced the draft. Under the name Pillnitz , it was back in service in 1874. In the winter of 1878/79 the machine was overhauled and received a new medium shaft. In the fall of 1883 the ship was decommissioned and scrapped.

The steam engine

The steam engine is an oscillating, low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with injection condensation with an output of 110 hp. It was built by John Penn and Sons in Greenwich. The two-flame tube suitcase boiler with 2 bar steam pressure also came from this company . The price for the boiler and machine was 15,500 thalers . The machine received the 1884 built Diesbar and the boiler probably the crown prince .
