The '''''Radetzky''''' ({{lang-langx|bg|„Радецки“}}, ''„Radetski“'') was an [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]] passenger [[steamship]] built in 1851 in the shipyard in [[Óbuda]], [[Hungary]], and used for regular services on the [[Danube]], mainly between [[Orşova]], Austria-Hungary and [[Galaţi]], [[Romania]]. Named after [[Bohemia]]n nobleman and [[Austria]]n general [[Joseph Radetzky von Radetz]] (1766–1858), it is most notable as part of the [[history of Bulgaria]] as the ship which revolutionary and poet [[Hristo Botev]] and his band bloodlessly hijacked and used to reach [[Kozloduy]], [[Bulgaria]].
 
On 29 May 1876, after the ship left the port of [[Bechet]], the Bulgarian revolutionaries, who had boarded her from different ports disguised as gardeners, forced the captain Dagobert Engländer to change course and transport the band to the Bulgarian port of Kozloduy, from where they would attempt to organize an anti-[[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] uprising as a follow-up to the already crushed [[April Uprising]] of the same year. Botev sent the following message to the crew and the passengers:<sup>[http://www.litclub.com/library/bg/botev/pisma/radezki.htm]</sup>
Line 98 ⟶ 100:
{{cquote|Mr Captain!<br/>Dear passengers!
 
I have the honour to notify you that Bulgarian rebels, whom I have the honour to be the [[voivode]] of, are located on this steamship.
 
At the price of our livestock and our agricultural instruments, at the expense of great efforts and sacrifice of our goods, finally at the price of everything which is dear in this world (without the knowledge and despite the pursuit of the authorities in the country whose neutrality we respected), we have provided ourselves with what is necessary to us, in order to come to the assistance of our revolting brothers, who are fighting so brave under the [[coat of arms of Bulgaria|Bulgarian lion]] for the liberty and independence of our dear Fatherland &mdash; Bulgaria.
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
saved in 1918.
 
The steamship ''Radetzky'' is a national relic of Bulgaria. A village in [[Sliven Province]] bears its name, Radetski, and national writer [[Ivan Vazov]] wrote a poem based on the events of May 1876, which is today a popular [[patriotic song]] called ''[[Still White Danube Undulates]]''.<sup>[http://www.slovo.bg/old/vazov/p_gusla/radecki.htm]</sup>
