The steamship Motala Express
Motala Express or “Vätterns fånge” as she was also called, was built in 1895 at Jönköping Mekaniska Verkstad to be the biggest, fastest and most beautiful on Lake Vättern. For its time, it was a high-tech marvel that made its way across Lake Vättern at the unbridled speed of 14 knots and was also equipped with luxurious innovations such as water closets and bathtubs. She became the ultimate representative of the craftsmanship and engineering of the time. Both the ship and the steam engine are in original condition and today represent a very important piece of Swedish shipping history. Today, she is moored at the steamboat dock at Strandvägen in Stockholm.
