Venus

Venus
Another boat moored at Söder Mälarstrand on Södermalm in Stockholm. Built back in 1883 by J. & C.G. Bolinders Mek. Verkstad AB, Stockholm. It changed owner a few times before sinking outside Lidingö in 1969, from where it was salvaged. To see a few old photos of the tugboat, press here.

Unique looking tugboat there.

I do find this boat rather appealing; I wonder what it looks like inside?

The Venus has had a long life with lots of tender loving care.

Looks like ships can get very old indeed with maintenance.

It looks to be in great shape now.
