Steamship Ejdern from Södertälje

Steamship Ejdern departing Mariefred.
She sailed in the archipelago of Gothenburg from 1880 to 1897 and from 1898 to 1905 on the lake Roxen. Finally she sails in the waters of Södertälje since 1906. In 1964 she was rescued from being scuttled and nowadays the museum society "Ångfartyget Ejdern" owns and runs her.

At the rim of the furnace door one can see that the steamship boiler is firing.

The Steamship Ejdern maneuvering place is very narrow. The high pressure piston's slide-valve rod and the quadrants for the Stephenson's link-motion are partly visible on the picture.
