Caption | Semi-saloon steamer "Volta", built in 1872 as sister ship of the "Lariano" by Escher Wyss & Cie, Zurich; these two ships were very similar to the twins "Beatus" and "Bubenberg" of Lake Thun, the engines were probably even identical, the two popular and somewhat camouflaged Lake Como ships moored in the uppermost part of the lake were repeatedly damaged by Allied aerial bombardment in January-March 1945 and ultimately rendered unusable |
Caption (German) | Halbsalondampfer "Volta", erbaut 1872 als Schwesterschiff der "Lariano" von Escher Wyss & Cie, Zürich; diese beiden Schiffe waren den Zwillingen "Beatus" und "Bubenberg" des Thunersees sehr ähnlich, die Maschinen sind wahrscheinlich sogar identisch gewesen, die beiden beliebten und einigermassen getarnt im obersten Seeteil vertäuten Comersee-Schiffe wurden im Januar-März 1945 wiederholt durch alliierten Fliegerbeschuss beschädigt und letztlich unbrauchbar gemacht |
