Gebaut 1906 durch die Firma Escher Wyss in Zürich, ist das Dampfschiff Blümlisalp heute der Stolz der BLS Schifffahrt auf dem Thunersee. Auch nach über 100 Jahren ist das Schiff noch täglich im Einsatz. Dies ist jedoch nur dank ein paar Verrückter Fans möglich. 1971 wurde das Schiff ausser Betrieb genommen und in einem Seitenarm des Thunersees abgestellt. Fast 20 Jahre lag es dort, bevor es gerettet und während zwei Jahren komplett renoviert wurde. Am 22. Mai 1992 gelang die zweite Jungfernfahrt.
Am Morgen des 16. Mai 2026 wartet das Schiff in der Morgensonne auf seinen Einsatz am Mittag und auf die bis zu 750 Gäste.

Built in 1906 by Escher Wyss in Zurich, the steamship Blümlisalp is now the pride of BLS Navigation on Lake Thun. Even after more than 100 years, the ship is still in daily service. However, this is only possible thanks to a few passionate enthusiasts. In 1971, the ship was taken out of service and left in a side arm of Lake Thun. It lay there for almost 20 years before being rescued and completely renovated over a period of two years. On 22 May 1992, it successfully completed its second maiden voyage.
On the morning of 16 May 2026, the ship waits in the morning sun for its midday service and for up to 750 guests.

ok this is such a fucking long shot but here goes.

does anyone work at Steamboat Springs?

my wife has a hat she loves from working there, it's a black flat brim baseball cap with brown brim and a brown steamboat patch, and it has "staff" embroidered on the side.

well, she had a hat. our dog just got to it and now it's pretty damn wrecked.

if anyone out there is able to get me a Steamboat staff hat - even if it doesn't match this description exactly - I will love you forever and happily pay for hat and shipping.

Oh yeah. We only have a LITTLE BIT to go because we built all of 2 WHOLE BAGS tonight.

Out of 32 bags.

We’re not even done with the first deck. At all.

Join me next week at 5 PM Eastern for more Make Shit Monday as we continue the Lego Steamboat build. I will accept name suggestions.

Dampfschiff im Parkverbot.
Steamboat in a no-parking zone.

Background: The boat on this picture is 150 years old and said to be Germany's oldest serviceable steamboat (name is "St. Georg"). When finding a problem with her hull which needed to be fixed quickly none of the usual dockyards was available on short notice. So they created an impromptu dock in the middle of a residential area at a canal. Which looks a bit weird. And interesting.

The Jessica Anne made its first appearance on White Rock Lake in May. Its first voyage, however, took place almost a half century ago on Lake Ray Hubbard - Lake Highlands

Fitted with a bright red paddlewheel that propels up to 4 miles per hour, near-deck length canopy and twin rudders, the Jessica Anne takes on the shape of a Mississippi River boat ripped straight from the pages of a Mark Twain novel.
