What was the frist ship to have a central vacuum on board
- Thread starter Tom Bates
- Start date
THe Nina, and the Santa Maria were both equipped with a central vac, though there was no electricity. Now, as to what ship had central vac in conjunction with electricity I would be at a loss on that one. Good question though.

Kosta, they mean vacuum cleaner systems.
Such things were around in 1912, both ashore and afloat. I have an advertisement for ship systems, though I can't exactly date it. On shore, there were people who carried vacuum cleaner machines on trucks, with long pipes that could be taken into houses and shops to clean them.

Are you referring to a vacuum cleaner system in which there are outlets for connecting a hose rather than using individual electric vacuum cleaners ?
When I visited RMS Queen Mary in New York in 1965, I noticed they were using vintage 1930's Hoover-type (may have been a different brand) vacuum cleaners.
