After spending almost a year completing the documentation on the wreck of the steamer Eric Nordevall, the result of this work is now available in the form of a virtual museum. This is the first project of its kind, entirely devoted to a single Swedish vessel.
Throughout 2012, part of the dive group around Dykpark Vättern has been collecting material about the wreck, but also conducting interviews and collecting accounts from people who have explored the steamer in the past.
It is interesting to note that in addition to the well-known 360° photos, there are also 3D photos available on the muzuemum website. They were taken in 2011 by the company wev360 and aroused great interest.
Eric Nordevall was built at the Hammarsten shipyard in Norrköping. Its construction lasted from 1836 to 1837. The ship was designed by naval officer Johan Gustaf von Sydow. From the same construction plan, four more twin ships were built: Admiral von Platen, Daniel Thunberg, Thomas Telford and Christopher Polhem. All were named after distinguished canal builders or engineers. Eric Nordevall sank in 1856.
Today it returns to the surface again to tell its story, and also to encourage divers from all over the world to visit. Especially since, being in the area, it is not difficult to complete a plan for several interesting dives.
