S/S Norrland wooden shell open steamship (1837)
It is a historically significant wooden shell steamship designed by Swedish engineer and industrialist Otto ECarlsund. It is the first steamship to provide regular passenger and freight services between Stockholm and Ume å, sailing in the Gulf of Bothnia. The design marks an important milestone in Sweden's maritime transportation, not only improving regional connections but also promoting economic and industrial development. The operation of this ship not only laid a foundation for Sweden's steamship shipping industry, but also demonstrated Sweden's progressiveness in ship design and engineering. The original drawings are preserved in the Swedish National Maritime Museum.
LEUSDEN Dutch West India Company Slave Ship
It is a slave ship operated by the Dutch West India Company (WIC). On January 1, 1738, the ship sank at the mouth of the Maroni River in Suriname, carrying 716 African prisoners, of which only 16 survived. This disaster is one of the most serious tragedies in Dutch shipping history, but little is known about it. This ship was one of the last WIC vessels used for transporting slaves and the only one specifically designed for this purpose. On each voyage, the ship transported an average of 660 slaves who were chained and tightly packed in the Caribbean Sea. A total of 10 slave voyages were conducted, and only 73% of the slaves arrived at their destination alive.
