Motala Express.

S/S Motala Express is a Swedish steam-powered passenger ship.

 

Motala Express was delivered in 1895 from Jönköpings Mechanical Workshop in Jönköping.

 

She was built to be able to take 417 passengers, but is classified for a maximum of 220 people with today's stricter requirements.

 

The steam engine, original from 1895, develops 360 hp and the maximum speed is stated to be 14 knots, but is limited to nine knots during cruises.

 

The gold star is still in the bow, which denotes that the ship has a first-class restaurant on board.

 

Motala Express is K-marked and operates in charter traffic.
