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.
