Blonde Tisza:
The paddle-wheeled steamer was built in 1917 at the Ganz Danubius Shipyard in Újpest.
In 1917, the largest Hungarian river steamers, the IV. KÁROLY and Queen ZITA, construction began at the Ganz Danubius Shipyard in Újpest. The ship was one of the largest specimens of side-wheeled passenger steamers made in Újpest. Length 77.4 m width 15.29 m dive 1.5 m. The steam boiler, which led its combustion products into two chimneys, was able to deliver 800 hp.
Inside the steamer, there was no sign that World War I was raging in Europe at the time of its construction. The interior was characterized by the - tasteful - choice of materials typical of the times of peace, detailed applied art, elaboration of unique metal (wrought iron, bronze, copper, etc.), wood (marquetry, etc.) upholstery and glass works. Inside the ship, the two-arm ornamental stairs and lush carvings made these ships on the rivers essentially what the ocean liners were on the high seas: the floating ambassadors of the country, the floating monuments of triumphant engineering knowledge.
In 1918, our steamship also received its mate, which IV. It was named after Charles's wife, Queen Zita. Its parameters were the same as those of its sister ship.
In 1919, after World War II, “of course” they could no longer run under their original name IV. KÁROLY then became SAS, and Queen ZITA became VÉRCSE.
In 1930, the ships were renamed again. SAS was named SZENT IMRE (on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of St. Imre's death) and VÉRCSE was named SZENT ISTVÁN.
In 1938, the ships took part in the state representation: in the midst of the solemn appearances on May 25, they were the event ships of the World Eucharistic Congress, which opened in Budapest.
However, the mission of the ship did not end here: in the holy year of the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Stephen, the Holy Right was carried around the country as a commemoration.
In 1944 the ship came to Austria with its sister ship and only after the Second World War, in 1947, did they return to Hungary. Another name change followed, and the ship was liberated in 1950
was named (his brother could keep the name SZENT ISTVÁN).
In 1957, the ship underwent a renovation. In the Újpest shipyard, it was sacked (above - then for the last time) and converted into a cruise ship (as opposed to its counterpart, which was scrapped and cut in 1965).
In 1958, after renovation, it was put back into service as a cruise ship. It has been operating until 1976.
In 1976, the ship was withdrawn from regular passenger traffic. From then on, a standing ship in Budapest
In 1979, the former SZŐKE TISZÁT (ex-TÁNCSICS, ex-SZENT GELLÉRT) was dismantled in Szeged, which operated as a hotel ship until the high water of 1979 swept it away. It erupted in the downtown section of the Tisza, on the Coastal Bath, where it was demolished. To replace it, the city of Szeged renamed the LIBERALIZATION taken over from MAHART to SZŐKE TISZA, which was now the second ship in Szeged under this name.
In 1980, a restaurant ship, and from the late 1980s a disco ship next to the Downtown Bridge, in the second half of the 1990s, only the beach tied in front of the ship's nose was in operation.
The dilapidated ship was towed in 2000 to Tápéi Bay, where it sank in 2012.
It was lifted from the water between January 23 and January 27, 2020, and has been awaiting renovation ever since.
