Steamship Stockholm did look better in the old days
In the fifties, when the steamship Stockholm's name still was
Postångaren Öland, I participated in a repair
onboard. She had run aground outside the city of Borgholm and some plates had
to be replaced. A great number of pipes under the flooring in the engine room
had to be dismounted before the work with the hull could start.
She had a very nice engine room. All the brass was highly polished and all
pipes were painted in accordance with the old color code; red for steam, yellow
for condensate, blue for fresh water, green for sea water, brown for
lubricating oil, black for fuel oil and so on.
The Steamship Stockholm is Nowadays propelled by diesel
engines.
