Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany: an historic steam tugboat, Ruthof, moored on the Danube. The steam tugboat, Ruthof, and a diesel tug, Freudenau, are the main exhibits of the Regensburg Museum of Danube Shipping or Donau-Schiffahrts-Museum. Ruthof was built at the Christof Ruthof shipyard in Regensburg in 1923 and worked for inland shipping company Bayerischer Lloyd on the Danube. In 1944, Ruthof hit a mine. The steam tugboat was subsequently salvaged by Hungarian shipping company MAHART and named Érsekcsanád, purchased from MAHART in 1979, arrived in Regensburg in 1980 and was opened as a museum in 1984.
