Paddan Canal Boat Ride, Gothenburg, Sweden, July 1957

Paddan Canal Boat Ride, Gothenburg, Sweden, July 1957
A photo of crowds, throngs, or hordes (a big bunch of people) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Handwritten note on the back of this real photo postcard: "July 1957. Our boat ride around canal in Gothenburg, Sweden. Beautiful day."

More than fifty passengers are crowded into this "paddan" canal boat. Paddan means "turtle" in Swedish, and the boats are named for their turtle-like profile (imagine an upside-down turtle shell), which allows them to pass safely underneath the low bridges along the Gothenburg canals.
