The wheel of Patris weighs ten tons, measures six meters in diametre and rests on a cast steel beam measuring 40 cm in diametre and 5 metres in length. The wheel constitutes an exceptional and rare artifact demonstrating the art of shipbuilding. The entire operation was sponsored by the Pateras family and the last phase of transportation was realised by the Neorion Shipyards of Syros, which provided specialised equipment and a team of ten people.

Salvaging the wheel

In 2007, a large-scale operation aiming to salvage one of the two wheels of the steamship Patris was organised. The operation was a collaboration of the Industrial Museum of Hermoupolis, the National Hellenic Research Foundation, the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities and the UFR-Team of divers. In addition, the operation was filmed to provide footage for a documentary entitled “Patris-Lost in 1868″, a co-production of ERT SA, the production company TECHNIS and the CTC-IMH. Following its salvage, the wheel was temporarily placed in the Hermoupolis traditional shipyard, until it was transported to its final location.

The shipwreck

Patris sank in fair weather, after hitting a reef near the island of Kea in 1868, while on route to Syros from Piraeus. Initially, responsibility for the wreck lay with the captain N. Aggelikaras, who was later acquitted by the naval court. There was no loss of life, as all passengers got ashore safe and sound. Nonetheless, the financial damage incurred by the Hellenic Steamship Company was significant. The ship, which was cut in two, lies at about 50 metres underwater to this day. Since 1980, the shipwreck has been a popular attraction to experienced divers from all over the world, as it is extremely well-preserved.

The steamship Patris

The passenger steamship Patris was one of the ships of the Hellenic Steamship Company, the first sea service founded in Greece. It was ordered by former king Otto and built in England in 1860. It was a luxury ship made of iron, 217 feet long, 28 feet wide, with a tonnage of 787 register tons, a displacement of 700 tons and a 180 horsepower engine. It burned coal, which fueled the steam engine which, in turn, set the ship’s two wheels in motion. However, it also had sails.

Although the wheels of Patris were technologically more evolved, you can find out the basics of steam-powered paddles here.

Patris Award

A hundred films from 32 countries entered the festival. Nineteen were chosen to compete. “Patris, Lost in 1868″ won the Best Film (by Jury) as well as the Best Cinematography (by Jury) awards. This is a significant distinction, as the Greek production faced brilliant competition entries from the likes of the National Geographic and the History Channel.

Interested researchers may now study these schematics in the Museum library.

In December 2009, Mr. Demetris Voikos, a mariner, donated the blacksmiths’ tools his father, George Voikos, had used in his workshop from the 1940s to 1977 to the Museum.

On January 19th, Mr. Pavlos Alifragkis, a carpenter, donated all his equipment and tools to the Museum. These tools had been used by his family for three generations.

The first part of the screenings, entitled “Sea adventures at the Museum”, took place on the 10th and 11th of November 2009. Old sailboats and steamships, with stokers quickly shoveling coal were featured in the old movies we watched, while a thematic tour of the Museum’s exhibitions was arranged before the screenings.
