Ejdern, Museum steamboat in Södertälje, Sweden

The SS Ejdern stretches 22.4 meters in length and operates regular trips across Lake Mälaren from its base in Södertälje Municipality.

Built in 1880 at Göteborgs Mekaniska Werkstad, this passenger vessel served different Swedish harbors before settling in Södertälje in 1906.

The steamboat represents Swedish maritime traditions through its preservation as both a working museum and a designated historical vessel.

From May to September, visitors can board the vessel for journeys between Södertälje and Adelsö, with stops at the ancient Viking settlement of Birka.

The Ejdern maintains its original 1880 engine and operates with coal-fired power, making it among the oldest functional steam-powered vessels in the world.
