The ships "Lorelei" and "Loretto" are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. But the two motorboats of the Carinthian Nostalgia Railways have not had an easy life. While one of the 19-metre-long ships crashed into a wall, the other actually sank completely.
What a spectacle it must have been in May 1924 when the 19-metre-long "Loretto" rolled past the shop windows of Klagenfurt's Bahnhofstrasse! "After being built at the Danube shipyard in Vienna, the ship was brought to Klagenfurt by rail and then by streetcar to Lake Wörthersee, where it was launched on May 29," explains Johannes Lebitsch from Nostalgiebahnen. Her sister ship "Lorelei" experienced the same spectacle just a few months later.
