Färjan 4 was built in 1920 and operated as a shuttle ferry across the river for 50 years. Since 1973 it has belonged to the Foundation for Gothenburg's Maritime Museum and is operated by the volunteer association Sällskapet Ångbåten. The vessel is K-classed, powered by a 70 hp steam engine and equipped with a coal-fired steam boiler.
