The steamboat was previously Sweden's oldest steamboat in operation when it was first launched in 1862 in Siljan, and then in 1878 continued to the Venjanssjön and used as a warp boat for rafting until the 1960s. back in Venjan 2005. But in 2013, the boat and the associated boat house burned after a welding company was on site.
With the help of insurance money but also subsidies as building funds, the steamer has been refurbished and is finally in operation again soon.
How does it feel?
- I'm just shaking off the thought. The boat is finer now than it was before, says Kennet Karlsson. one of the members of the local association Tom's Friends.
