History
Bohuslän was built by Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad and launched on 15 May 1914, being delivered to her owners later that summer. She was based at the port of Uddevalla and upon her completion, used mainly to carry passengers along the Bohuslän coast on scheduled services. However, she was also employed on charter trips, local excursions, cargo runs and seasonal tourist sailings. She was present at several major coastal celebrations during her early career as one of the region’s principal steamers.
From early 1918 until later that year, Bohuslän received new boilers and underwent a general overhaul. After this work was completed, she was photographed alongside other West Coast steamers in a well‑known image taken during a fleet gathering, before running trials for several days and then returning to regular service along the coast.
From 1914 to the early 1960s, Bohuslän served in coastal traffic. On 12 July 1920, she grounded near Lysekil during heavy fog; she was refloated without loss of life and repaired shortly afterward. On 9 August 1938 a fire broke out in her forward section, and she was beached and later restored at Uddevalla. She was then withdrawn from her original company in the 1960s and sold to the preservation group Sällskapet Ångbåten of Gothenburg. Now restored, she resumed her usual duties and was present at the reopening of several heritage piers during the 1970s. She was based at Gothenburg from this period onward, and was used as an excursion steamer. She remains preserved today as a historic vessel and continues to sail in the Bohuslän archipelago.
