Radetsky ship-museum

The Radetsky was an Austro-Hungarian passenger steamship built in 1851 and used for regular services on the Danube. It is most notable as part of the history of Bulgaria as the ship which revolutionary and poet Hristo Botev and his rebels bloodlessly hijacked and used to reach Kozloduy.

The original ship was destroyed in 1924 but in 1966 the steamship was reconstructed (based on the original design and technical data given by the ship`s dyer) and officially opened as a museum ship.
