Remiantis archyviniais ir natūriniais tyrimais, straipsnyje aptariami 1924 m. pavasarį salia Klaipėdos uosto vartų nuskendusio motorinio burlaivio „Grisslan“ liekanų salinimo bei plukdyto krovinio (svedisko cemento) panaudojimo Kopgalio kopagūbrio ir pietinio molo stiprinimui aspektai. Cemento tiekėjų pasirinkimo aplinkybės, nugrimzdusio laivo liekanų salinimo, jų ir krovinio panaudojimo būdas aptariamas istoriniame ir technologiniame Klaipėdos uosto raidos kontekste. Surinkti duomenys įrodo, kad XX a. treciojo desimtmecio viduryje Klaipėdos uoste jau buvo naudojamos povandeninio sprogdinimo ir betonavimo technologijos, neabejota portlandcemencio tinkamumu hidrotechninėje statyboje. Straipsnyje bandomos įvardyti tikėtinos svedisko cemento atsiradimo Klaipėdos krasto ir Lietuvos statybinių medžiagų rinkoje aplinkybės.

The surface condition, internal structure and chemical and mineral composition of these blocks provide sufficient evidence for an assessment that the blocks were formed from Portland cement hydrated in sea water without mixing (in dormant state) over a long time. The archive documents of Klaipeda port and investigation into the press publications of that period in question have evidenced that these barrel-shaped cement stone blocks relate to the shipment of Portland cement that was delivered from Gotland Island, most probably from Slite cement factory on the boat Grisslan that sank in the port entrance channel in 1924. The shipment (about 340 tons) was ordered by Lithuanian company Sandėlis. The composition of Portland cement shipped from Sweden is similar to that of modern Portland cement, however, it has a relatively higher content of chrome oxide; cement stone blocks also display the stripes of lime. These are the features characteristic of Portland cement produced at the turn of the 20th century. A long-term contact of the block with sea water resulted in higher salt content in the blocks. The motor sailing-boat sank due to technical reasons – low engine capacity and rigging not suitable for the stormy weather. During investigation into sinking accident, neither the captain and the crew nor the pilots and other port services were found at fault. The accident, its causes and response to the effects were immediately and precisely, however not in sufficient detail, covered by Klaipeda periodicals of different political orientation in 1924. The similarity of offi-cial reports on boat sinking accident delivered to the Ministry of Transport and Communication and articles in Klaipeda newspapers reveal close cooperation between port administration and reporters.

It was determined that this railway, func-tionated in Kaunas fortress, which was started to build in 1879 and has been build for 20 years. Since this railway was build more than a hundred year ago so it arised the questions about the metallurgy level of that period, quality of steel and technology of plastic working. It was the pe-riod when the great changes in the iron alloys metallurgy proceeded, the more effective and mass steel production methods appeared but the quality of made steels was not high. The aim of the investigation was to determine the steel, from which the railway was made, the chemical composition, to investigate its microstructure, to estimate the quality, to carry out the investigation of mechanical properties and to determine the production technology. After estimation the investigated steel, they were compared with the steels used for modern ...
