Sailing boat, Marina Cannes, French Riviera, France.
A boat is a sailboat (pieces of fabric), propelled by the wind. Historically, the boat was the first conveyance medium and long distance. Sailboats carrying goods, passengers, mail. They were used for fishing at sea, military and naval battles.
From the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century sailing propulsion gradually disappears for utility transport replaced by steamships and motor boats. Today, utility transport and fishing boats remain only in the less industrially developed countries.
The yachts are used for recreational purposes: competitive sailing and boating.
Hellooo ...
Now I'd like to tell you a little about my vacation on the Dalmatian coast.
Dalmatia encompasses the southern part of Croatia, on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea.
The ship I mentioned when I left for vacation was just a little tub. 😂
But no, not at all!
It was a motor yacht, and there were 19 of us.
The trip went from Split (Croatia/Dalmatia region) to Bol (Brač island), Hvar (Hvar island), Pomena (Mljet island), Dubrovnik (Croatia/Dalmatia region), Korčula (Korčula island), Makarska (Croatia/Dalmatia region), Pučišća (Brač island), and back to Split.
MY "Amalia"
Hallöchen ...
Jetzt möchte ich euch ein wenig von meinem Urlaub an der Küste Dalmatiens erzählen.
Dalmatien umfaßt den südlichen Teil von Kroatien, an der Ostseite der Adria.
Das Schiff, von dem ich beim Abschied in den Urlaub sprach, war nur ein Äppelkahn. 😂
Aber nein, ganz und gar nicht!
Es war eine Motoryacht und wir waren 19 Passagiere.
Die Fahrt ging von Split (Kroatien/Region Dalmatien) nach Bol (Insel Brač), Hvar (Insel Hvar), Pomena (Insel Mljet), Dubrovnik (Kroatien/Region Dalmatien), Korčula (Insel Korčula), Makarska (Kroatien/Region Dalmatien), Pučišća (Insel Brač) und zurück nach Split.
Balkon des Schleuseturms .Bremerhaven , Neuer Hafen .
Folgend Info Bremerhaven:
Schon die erste Dockschleuse von der Weser zum Neuen Hafen aus dem Jahre 1852 sorgte weltweit für Aufsehen. Der Neubau von 2005 steht dem kaum nach. Der Unterschied: Zwischen 1847 und 1852 wurde eine Dockschleuse gebaut, die nur bei Hochwasser genutzt werden konnte, jetzt entstand in 27 Monaten Bauzeit eine hochmoderne und technisch weltweit einmalige Kammerschleuse mit Sektortoren und Drehbrücken. Vor allem Freizeit-Kapitäne sollen mit ihren Segel- und Motoryachten künftig einen schnellen Weg vom Neuen Hafen aus auf die Weser oder in den Hafen finden. Aber trotzdem ist die Schleuse Neuer Hafen keine reine „Sportboot-Schleuse", sondern geeignet, alle Schiffe aufzunehmen, die in die 50 x 14 Meter große Schleusenkammer passen. Und bei guten Wetter lässt sich die Schleusenlänge sogar auf 62,50 Meter erweitern. Dann wird aus dem doppelten Seehaupt der Schleuse nur ein einfaches Tor- bzw. Sektorpaar.
Abmessungen:
- nutzbare Länge: 50,00 bzw. 62,50 m
- nutzbare Breite: 14,00 m
- Tiefe: 5,50 bis 6,50 m NN
Nutzung:
- Schleusenzeiten 10 min bis 45 min in Abhängigkeit von Belegung und Wasserstandsdifferenz
- höchster schleusbarer Wasserstand = NN + 2,80 m
- niedrigster schleusbarer Wasserstand = NN - 3,00 m
heureusement elle est là "La Bonne Mère"..., en bas autour du vieux port bruit non-stop et puanteur partout. Il faut absolument y aller pour le bâtiment et la vue De là-haut, la vue est magique et le vieux port semble plus beau.
luckily she is there "The Good Mother" ..., down around the old harbor nonstop noise and stench all over. You have to go for the building and the view from above, the view is magical and the old port looks more beautiful.

A Swedish motor yacht photographed in 1912. My restoration and colorization of the original image by an unknown photographer in the Swedish SCIF archive. No other information is provided by SCIF.
Perhaps my eminent Swedish friends can help?
PS
It is good to have knowledgeable friends. It did not take long before the eminent motor boat expert Anders Værnéus identified the boat. The picture shows 15 m. motor yacht Pege III, designed by the legendary C.G. Pettersson for mechanical engineer P.G. Blomberg.
90 ft motor yacht Wanda, designed by naval architect Ted Geary and built by Seattle Blanchard boatyard for lumberman C. D. Stimson in 1922. My restoration and colorization of the original 1922 image in the Museum of History & Industry (Seattle) archive.
Wanda, the oldest fantail registered in the US, is since 2009 owned by Andrew Roettger (San Francisco). She has been fully restored and completely rebuilt.
"Throughout her life Wanda has been berthed in Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay. She won the Alaska long-distance Classic Yacht Race in the 1960’s, a 1000 mile port to port race and is often featured in the Classic Yacht Association Articles, has been the Featured Vessel for San Francisco Bay’s ‘Blessing of the Fleet’ 2015, 2016 and was the State Vessel for 34th America’s Cup, San Francisco Bay."
Motor yacht Standard photographed in Pori (Finland) by John Englund. My restoration and digital hand colorization of the original B/W image in the Satakunnan Museo archive (finna.fi). The museum does not have any information about date, owner or designer. Any additional information is most welcome.
PS
My hopes of receiving additional information about Standard have been fulfilled. Pekka Takoja and Laurent Lamarche sent me links to two articles from 1921 and 1923 about Standard. The Finnish weekly Suomen Kuvalehti described the boat as "a masterpiece of Finnish workmanship". The Frisk Bris magazine called her "one of the largest and most elegant motor cruisers ever built in Finland.
Standard was built in 1920 for the CEO of the Ahlström Company, Walter Ahlström (1875 - 1931) by Warkaus Bruk (Varkaus). The boat was designed by engineer Joh. Carlström. According to Suomen Kuvalehti Ahlström himself was also much involved in the planning.
The 21.95 m x 4.0 m Standard had a steel hull, not a wooden one as I first expected.

The Swedish motor yacht Clipper, photographed in 1949. My colorization of an image in the Maritime Museum of Sweden archive. The boat, designed by Stig Tiedemann, was built at Rosättra Varv in 1949. According to the Maritime Museum information Clipper was seen as a wreck in Halden, Norway, in 2013. At that time there seems to have been interest in Sweden to restore the boat, but I have not been able to find any information about a possible restoration.

When the boatbuilder and excellent amateur photographer Eino Antero Bergius (1884 - 1978) shot this picture of a brand new motor yacht built at this yard in Vesilahti, I think he was rather pleased with what he saw, and probably a little bit proud, too. The picture, here shown restored and digitally hand colorized by me, is not dated, but I estimate that Bergius took the photo in the early 1910s. The original BW image is in the Vapriikki museum archive (finna.fi).
The National Biography of Finland gives this background information about Bergius as a boat builder:
"During his travels abroad, Bergius had been able to taste the lifestyle of the Belle époque, which included the belief in progress and the charm of speed created by technological development. He understood that the future would belong to vehicles powered by a combustion engine. The first boat equipped with a combustion engine was built in Germany in 1886 by Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz. The first actual motor boater in the waters of Tampere was apparently the linen factory manager Henrik Solin (1848 - 1902), who acquired a kerosene boat in 1899. In the fall of 1905, Tampere's first yard that manufactured motor boats began operations. These could act as inspiration when Bergius founded a boatyard in 1910 on the family farm in Suomela, Vesilahti.
Bergius boatyard specialized in fast and high-quality mahogany motor boats. Ordinary people could not afford motorboats for years, but the gentry of Tampere instead got their fine saloon boats from the Vesilahti yard, which immediately began to claim the title of the fastest boat on Tampere's waterways in the Näsijärvi Sailing Club's competitions. As early as December 1910, Tammerfors Nyheter published an illustrated presentation of Bergius' boatyard. According to the news, the shipyard had direct water connections to Tampere and Hämeenlinna, and in addition, boats could be delivered even further from the Lempäälä or Tampere railway stations. The maximum sizes of the boats were determined by the size of the railway wagons. Already from the opening year, the motorboat mentioned as the fastest in Tampere's waters, the Tarvakivi built for the bank manager Albert Snellman, had a speed of 13 knots, which means it could beat even the biggest steamships in speed. Even better was Turso, which Bergius built for himself, which won the 1911 Helsinki-Hanko race as a representative of the Näsijärvi Sailing Club, with an average speed of 19.2 knots despite the heavy waves. The journey took about half of what it would have taken for the big steamships of the time. In 1912, the Helsingin Kaiku magazine mentioned Turso as the fastest boat in this country. She was sold for a large sum to St. Petersburg. Bergius mahogany boats are known to have been sold as far as New Zealand.
Bergius's bigger boats were pretty much built based on the same, probably American drawings, and thus looked very similar to each other. It is known that none of the Bergius dream boats have survived: all that remains are the photographs taken by Bergius himself."
The Bergius boatyard in Vesilahti was destroyed during the 1918 civil war, after which he relocated it in Tampere. The activity continued throughout the 1920s, until the beginning of the depression put an end to the boatyard in 1930.
