Gota Canal
You will not find the equivilence of our historical canal boats anywhere else in the world, and the Gota Canal itself is unique.
Each of our three handsome, historical ships is designed to fit the most narrow lock on the canal like a hand in a glove. They have been carefully refurbished and preserved to reflect the times when they were built.
There are three cabin classes, one on each of the ship's decks - the bridge, shelter and main decks. Most of the cosy, small cabins are fitted with bunk beds and a washbasin. There are shared WCs and showers on each deck. Meals are enjoyed in the mahogany and brass decorated dining room. The salon is a place for socialising, conversing or reading one of the books in our small ship's library.
The M/S Wilhelm Tham was built at the Motala shipyard and was launched in 1912. There are 25 cabins on three decks providing space for around 50 passengers. The dining room and lounge are found on the shelter deck and the bridge deck offers a covered aft deck with a perfect view. The dining room on the Wilhelm Tham was extended in 2001. The cabins, dining room and lounge were renovated in 2003-2004. Much has been done to preserve the right atmosphere on board, with furnishings that match the period spirit.
The M/S Wilhelm Tham was listed in 2004 by the National Maritime Museums, considering her historically important. We are naturally quite proud of this distinction as it proves our efforts to preserve the ship have succeeded.
