Steamship Blidösund moored at quay in Stockholm. Rightmost the Steamship

Make a voyage onboard the Passenger Steamer Blidösund to the beautiful
waters and islands of the Stockholm archipelago.
The engine room onboard Steamship Blidösund
Steamer Blidösund has a coal fired Scotch fire tube boiler with three
furnaces.
The stoker is banking up the furnace, i.e., he packs embers and coals tight
together so they don't burn but smoulder. Next morning there will be sufficient
live coal to start up the fire again.

Klug's valve-gear and it is used on many steamer in the
Stockholm steamships navy.
