The time until 1919
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 . It was the first ship with double windows.
In order to avoid the access of the Kingdom of Prussia , the ship was moved to Theresienstadt during the Austro-Prussian War in May 1866 .
In the winter of 1881/82 the ship was overhauled. A new two-flame tube suitcase boiler from the Saxon Steamship and Mechanical Engineering Company was installed and the paddle wheels widened. In the winter of 1913/14 the ship underwent a general overhaul. In autumn 1918, due to difficult economic conditions at the end of the First World War , the ship was launched and sold to the Otto Krietsch shipping company in Magdeburg on April 1, 1919 for 20,000 marks . Here the ship was used under the name Rosslau .

In 1923 it was sold to the Rotblatas Levenbergas based in Jurbarkas and used under the name Laisve . After the Red Army marched in on July 5, 1940, all ships were nationalized. Shortly after the outbreak of the German-Soviet War , it was secured in June 1941 by the advancing German troops and in October 1941 it was placed in trust by the administration of the Reichskommissariat Ostland , the General Commissioner in Kaunas. After the occupation of Kaunas by the Red Army in July 1944, the ship was moved west.
