In 1896 the steamship company <i>Turisten</i> was established in Aarhus, to provide transport from the city to the popular establishments in the Marselisborg Forest to the south. The first vessel, <i>Turisten</i> could not handle the demands alone, so in 1897, the <i>Marselisborg</i> was bought from the yard of Eriksberg's mekaniska Verksted in Gothenburg, Sweden and a new <i>Turisten</i> (also from Eriksberg) followed in 1899. The two were very similar, so this could be any one of them, shown at one of the small piers on the beach, probably at <i>Varna</i> or <i>Ørnereden</i>. The experts at Bruun Rasmussen identified the pier as the one at <i>Silistria</i>, which seems unlikely, as it was built in 1914. <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://aarhuswiki.dk/wiki/Skovb%C3%A5den_Marselisborg">https://aarhuswiki.dk/wiki/Skovb%C3%A5den_Marselisborg</a> (in Danish).</div>
