No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.
In brief
The Waxholm was a steam ship that was built, as the Brevik, in 1909. She was intended for use on local services between Stockholm and the newly built residential area in Brevik on the island of Lidingö. Proven uneconomic on that relatively short service, she was acquired by the Waxholmsbolaget in 1913, renamed Express II and remodelled for use on that company's archipelago services. In 1964 she was renamed Waxholm, but in 1978 she was badly damaged in a fire. Never repaired, she was scrapped in 1983.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
Sweden is the country of registry for 370 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (195 ships), and the median vessel measures 972 GT. Browse every ship flagged Sweden.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 48 ferrys flying the Sweden flag.
SS Waxholm was built in 1909, making it 117 years old. It is one of 48 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,016 GT. Across the whole of the 1900s the registry holds 483 vessels, median 1,866 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 90 vessels to Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad, with a median tonnage of 11,582 GT, delivered between 1907 and 1978. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5111127 this registry holds 15 other vessels, whose median build year is 1957 and which range from 1909 to 1962. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1909.
Its IMO number, 5111127, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 1×6 + 1×5 + 1×4 + 1×3 + 2×2 = 57 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
