COLONY STEAM



The use of various types of vessels to transport passengers and cargo from of early German settlement around Lake Llanquihue, was instrumental in the development of this area. The most important means of communication were the vapors. Among these, the steam Cologne had a short but outstanding performance. Built by Eugene Schulz, was thrown overboard in October 1896. Her hull was wooden and iron frames. Had a length of 33 meters, capable of 120 tons. It was a beautiful ship, equipped with many amenities. His gait was slow and that its machinery and boilers were not related to the size of the ship. In 1897 it acquired Gustavo Schminke, who also owned the steam Llanquihue. It was the routes between Puerto Varas and Puerto Octay, and between Puerto Varas and Ensenada, and each trip was a rodeo period around the lake. In 1907 passed into the hands of Richard Roth, who also used for tourist caravans. The vapors in general were always exposed to fire by the use of boilers. In 1912, while docked at the pier of Puerto Octay, suffered a fire that was extinguished. But the April 21, 1915 was a tragic end when Wyhmeister spring sail on the cliffs, to its boiler exploded violently, through carelessness of the driver, killing 13 passengers and crew. The loss of the ship was complete. The image shows the vapor Cologne in the same place where this tragedy occurred.
