Sankt Erik
Made for my Sthlm1925 project where I recreate the capital of Sweden as it looked like in 1925.
SS Sankt Erik, originally Isbrytaren II, is a former Swedish ice breaker in service 1915 – 1977, today a museum ship moored just outside the Vasa Museum.
The triple expansion steam engines still work, and the aft main develops 2800 hp, likely the biggest ship steam engine of this kind still in operation in the world. There is an engine and a propeller in the front as well to help disperse the ice.
I went on a day trip with her a few years ago, see YouTube video for the engine in action.
Ship dimensions: length 61 meters, beam 17 meters and draft 6.5 meters.
This model depicts the original look with a lower, open bridge.
Textures (d, n, s, i, a) 2048 x 1024, lod (d, s) 128×64
Tris: main around 5000, lod 300.
