Bohuslän

The SS Bohuslän measures 44 meters in length and features a steam-powered engine system that propelled passengers along Swedish coastal waters during its service period.

Built in 1914 at Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad, this passenger vessel operated regular routes between Gothenburg and Kungshamn until 1963, completing more than 9000 trips.

The vessel represents Swedish maritime engineering excellence and serves as a working life museum, preserving the heritage of early 20th-century passenger transportation.

Visitors can experience summer tours and charter trips aboard this restored vessel, which maintains its original 1914 engine, boiler, and passenger salons.

Captain Carl Johansson steered this vessel for 33 years without radar equipment, relying solely on traditional maritime navigation methods through Swedish waters.
