Small supplement.
S/S BORE
The oldest working icebreaker in the world
On June 11, 1894, the Malmö Port Authority ordered an icebreaker from Kockums Mekaniska Verkstad that would make the Aven suitable as a mail and passenger ship. Five months later she was ready for launch. The contract amount was 199,539 98 SEK
On Saturday, November 17th, at 11:00 a.m. she left the ship with the hull number 70. As the ship came into the water, harbor master Annerstedt called out its name “BORE”, which was greeted with cheers!
On Saturday, January 12, 1895, it was time for BORE's eight-hour sea trial. The icebreaker's speed was measured at 12.31 knots. They were very happy with the result and the ship was approved and handed over to the city of Malmö
