Norrtelje, Historical steamboat in Norrtälje, Sweden.
The S/S Norrtelje is a steamboat from 1900 measuring approximately 44 meters long and 8 meters wide, powered by a compound steam engine. The vessel features passenger accommodations and engine rooms that display early steamship technology.
The ship was built in 1900 at a Stockholm shipyard and operated as a passenger vessel serving the Stockholm archipelago. It connected coastal communities and islands with regular scheduled routes for many decades.
The ship embodies early maritime travel and shows how people moved between islands and coastal towns around 1900. Visitors can see how the steam system and passenger areas were designed for these daily routes.
The ship is moored in Norrtälje harbor and can be visited during its operating season. Wear comfortable shoes, as exploring the vessel involves climbing stairs and navigating narrow passages.
A ship model of the S/S Norrtelje was handcrafted between 1965 and 1970 and is now housed in a museum in Stockholm. This scale replica captures the design details of the original vessel for future generations.
