Some old <STRONG>steamships</STRONG> are still sailing with their original engines and Scotch marine boilers, reminding about a glorious time.<BR>
Even though the steamships engines are old their <STRONG>Scotch steam-boilers</STRONG> are often replaced, sometimes by a Scotch marine boiler built
after the original drawings.<BR>

If a ship's Length =>12m <B>and</B> her Beam =>4m then it is a steamship. If the Length <B>or</B> the Beam is less then she is not a steamship
but a steamboat.<BR>

In the beginning the sizes of the steamships varied greatly. The smallest steamships could load a few hundred tonnes. While the greater steamships
loaded thousand tonnes of cargo. Steamships sailed in the coast waters, but later also overseas voyages. Many steamers where engaged in transporting
agricultural products to United Kingdom and coal back to the Denmark.<BR>

The first steamship built in Norway was the SS King Ring. The steamship was intended to operate on the river between Hønefoss and Tyrifjorden,
but it was soon replaced by a larger steamship. The Paddle Steamer Skibladner is probably the most famous steamship in Norway today.<BR>

<H3>Swedish steamships</H3><P>
The last steamships from the Swedish merchant fleet disappeared quietly and not many seem to miss them. The only Swedish steamships that
were the subject of nostalgic affection are a few surviving passenger steamships sailing in the archipelago, but even the coal-fired cargo
steamships are well worth remembering. The Swedish steamships carried many kinds of loads. However, the coal and timber were totally dominant
in the tramp trade throughout the steamship era.<BR>
If you travel to Sweden to experience the Swedish steamships, you should start in Stockholm, there are a dozen of steamships and half a
dozing are in service throughout the summer.<BR>
