A project that is unique in the world: the company wants to recover the ghost ship from Lake Constance. The Romanshorn Ship Salvage Association, founded about a year ago by various enthusiasts and engineers, bought the wreck of the “Säntis” from the Swiss Federal Railways for a symbolic franc.
The aim is to bring the paddle wheel steamer to the surface, bring it to the shipyard, preserve it there – and finally make it accessible to the public. If the salvage does not work, the disposal costs must be borne.
