The 108 year old passenger steamer Alexandra, billed as the oldest operational ship of its type in Germany, is undergoing boiler replacement this autumn in the wake of repair and maintenance that has been more extensive and costly than originally expected. The captain of the 36.96m Alexandra, GiJnter Herrmann, told Maritime Journal the steamship, based in Flensburg on the German border with Denmark, will go to Husum on the other side of Schleswig-Holstein for the work. Herrmann said the new 3m by 3.3m boiler, with a water circulation volume of 13 tons, was being built at the firm of Wulff & Umag in Husum for installation at the Husumer Dock und Reparatur shipyard.
