M/S Diana
Named after the goddess of the hunt
and chastity, she was Sweden's last steamship in regular
canal service. It was not until 1969 that the steam engine
was replaced by a diesel one and in 1975, the boat
received its current profile.
In 1987 efforts to pump her dry failed and the boat sank
at the quay in Trollhättan, was condemned and then
returned to the Steamship Company. It was decided to
totally renovate her, to reduce the number of cabins and
outfit other areas of the boat for meetings of various
types. One result was that the dining-room and the lounge
were made into one large.
