Description:

04/09/2018, Puumala, Southern Savonia, Finland.

A preserved, iron hulled cargo ship, which retains its original steam engine.

S/S 'Wenno' was launched on 18 September 1907 by the Konepaja shipyard, Savonlinna, Finland, as the 'Wetehinen' for the Puumala based merchant Matti Koponen.
It was built to the maximum allowable dimensions to fit the locks of the Saimaa Canal.

Length: 29.8 metres (98 ft)
Steam engine of 96 IHP.

The ship was used for carrying timber from the Miettula sawmill in Puumala to Vyborg’s outport in Uuras, Lake Saimaa.

The steamer changed hands several times before it was purchased by the Enso-Gutzeit forestry company in 1934.

In 1935 the vessel was renamed 'Wenno'.

In 1966, the ship was docked at Laitaatsilta in Savonlinna.

The municipality of Puumala purchased the S/S Wenno in 1972. The ship was badly damaged and was returned to its home port of Puumala.

The Puumala Boating Association renovated the ship so it could return to use, and their volunteers maintain it together with the Puumala municipality.

The ship is registered as a passenger ship with a capacity of 99 passengers.
