A replica of the paddle steamship Eric Nordevall built in 1836 and foundered in 1856. The wreck has been found in surprisingly good condition at 45m depth.

The steamship Eric Nordevall II outside planking almost finished.
Notice the inward bended hull that gives the steamship a violin-shaped look.
When the paddle wheels and the wheel houses are mounted then the steamship's, violin-shaped look will be less obvious, at least from the outside view.

Side-lever steam engines
Daniel Fraser's steam engine has been copied and put together at Motala Verkstad.
The engines have been tested with compressed air at the workshop. Installed on the paddle steamship Eric Nordevall II it will get steam of just 0.8 bar from the boiler. The exhaust steam from the cylinders meets the condenser vacuum 0.3 bar.

Steam engine from 1836
The two side-lever engines are connected together and work on the same crankshaft. The paddle-wheels' shafts will be connected as extensions of the crankshaft. At the paddle-wheels' maximal speed, 20 r.p.m., the ship will reach a speed of seven knots.

Engine no.14 was built in 1836 for Paddle Steamship
Eric Nordevall.
This replica of the engine, no.27, was built in 2008 for the Paddle Steamship Eric Nordevall II.
