Skibladner

PS Skibladner is a paddle steamer operating on the lake of Mjøsa in Norway. Skibladner' is a sidewheel design, and her maiden voyage was August 2, 1856, making her the world's oldest steamship still in operation. Originally intended to provide passage from the train station in Eidsvoll to the towns of Hamar, Gjøvik, and Lillehammer along Mjøsa, it still operates the same route, but now offers leisurely, scenic tours and culinary pleasures during the summer months.

The ship sunk while in winter storage twice: once in 1937 and again in 1967. After having been raised it has undergone significant renovation.
