Hello Ship model builders...
I am Puckotred from Göteborg and this is my third model and the first without sails.
A picture of the real thing:
From Atlastmodels: (With some minor corrections from me)
"The steamship S/S Bohuslän was built at Eriksbergs shipyard in Gothenburg 1913. For more than 40 years the traffic route of Bohuslän was between Göteborg- Lysekil-Smögen-Gravarne (Kungshamn) on the Swedish west coast. Later it was used as a ferry between Sweden and Denmark and between Sweden and Norway until it was taken off to be scrapped in 1963. A number of enthusiasts decided to rescue it and restored Bohuslän to its original condition and is still running it in the west coast archipelago in the summertime. "
Build size: 95 x 16 x 40 cm.
