Additional information about the Steam barge s/s Mikko:

Wooden steam barges such as "Mikko" were a typical sight on Lake Saimaa from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1960s. They were nicknamed as `tar steamers`because of their tarred sides.
They carried mainly timber and firewood on Lake Saimaa and to St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Stockholm.
"Mikko" was built in 1914 by the Savonlinna Workshop, and owned by Enso-Gutzeit and it was in regular service until 1967. The company donated the ship to the town of Savonlinna in 1970. The wood-fired steam engines of "Savonlinna" and "Mikko" are still intact. Every year both ships make excursions on special occasions.
