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

Swedish steamships
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.
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.
