AF 4574 - "Princess" - Burrell (3125) 6nhp traction engine built 7/1909. Weeting Steam Rally on 15th July 2017
The fully rigged ship af Chapman was built in April 1888 in Whitehaven, England.
It served its purpose as a cargo ship under British flag under the name Dunboyne, then under Norwegian flag until 1915.
Dunboyne was bought by the Swedish Navy 1923 and the ship was used for training purposes. 1937, the ship was towed to Stockholm, where she was anchored at Skeppsholmen. The ship was bought from the Swedish Navy by the City of Stockholm for only SEK 5.000 in 1947. The Swedish Tourist Association (STF) rebuilt the ship and turned the ship into a hostel which opened 1949.
During approximately two years, af Chapman have gone through a very extensive renovation. The hull, deck, masts and rigging have received a total overhaul.
The cabins were made more comfortable and got a more ship-like interior. A couple of the cabins have been restored to its original style.
The ship was towed back to Skeppsholmen just in time for its 120th anniversary and re-opened as a hostel 1st of June this year.
