The Schandau paddle steamer was built in the Blasewitz shipyard in 1864 . The ship was laid with hull number 10 on the keel . In 1892 the name was changed to Duke Friedrich von Anhalt .

The time until 1892

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 1881 the two-flame tube suitcase boiler was replaced by a new two-flame tube suitcase boiler. In 1892 the ship was sold to Eduard Täubrich, who came from Krippen .

The time after the sale

It was used under the name of Duke Friedrich von Anhalt for the Anhaltische Dampfschifffahrt based in Roßlau. It was named after Friedrich I. von Anhalt . In excursion traffic, the ship served the Kornhaus (Dessau) - Coswig and Roßlau - Barby routes . It was also used as a cargo ship on the Magdeburg - Mühlberg route.

In 1901 it was sold to Gdansk . It is unclear whether the new owner was the company Carl Gottlieb Steffens & Sons (grain and wood trading) or the shipping and shipping company Emil Berenz , which Gottlieb Steffens & Sons took over in 1905. The presumed sale to Russia is not documented. The whereabouts of the ship is unknown.

The steam engine

The machine was an oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with injection condensation with an output of 95 hp. Like the first two-flame tube trunk boiler, it was built by John Penn and Sons in Greenwich. In 1881, the old two-flame tube suitcase boiler from 1864 was replaced by a new two-flame tube suitcase boiler from the Saxon Steamship and Mechanical Engineering Company of the Austrian Northwest Steamship Company.
