PS ''Skibladner'' is a paddle steamer operating on lake Mjøsa in Norway. ''Skibladner'' is a sidewheel design, and her maiden voyage was on 2 August 1856, making her the world's oldest paddle steamer still in timetabled service. Originally intended to provide passage from the train station in Eidsvoll to the towns of Hamar, Gjøvik, and Lillehammer along Mjøsa, she still operates the same route, but now offers scenic tours and cultural events during the summer months. The ship sank while in winter storage twice: once in 1937 and again in 1967. After having been raised she has undergone significant renovation. On 14 June 2005, the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage decided to make ''Skibladner'' subject to a preservation order. This was the first time in Norway that an operating vehicle was listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DS Skibladner )〕 The steamer is named after ''Skíðblaðnir'', the ship of Freyr in Norse mythology. == References == * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skibladner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
