Steamers and passenger transport by boat have been a part of Prague since the 1940´s and remain a part of the historical colour of the city today.

The tradition of steamboats started with the first attempts of Josef Božek and his steam-powered boats which were introduced in Prague at the beginning of the 19th century. The first steamboat Bohemia was built by the Englishman John Andrews Ruston who, together with her owner John Andreas, introduced the boat to the people of Prague in May 1841.

In 1865 Prague townsmen associated with timber merchant and future Prague mayor František Dittrich founded the Prague Company for Steamboat Operations on the Vltava River (beginning in 1895 the Prague Company for Steamboat Operations on the Vltava and Elbe Rivers in Bohemia and after 1913 the Prague Steamboat Company, PPS).

After receiving a concession from Emperor Franz Josef I the company ceremoniously launched the steamboat Praha-Prag built in the Ruston & Co. machine works on the route from Prague to Štechovice.
