Steam Yacht Gondola

This Victorian steam yacht was launched in 1859 and takes tourists up and down Coniston Water (Lake)
I travel on it today

@lilminimonka Thanks Brianna, its a lovely smooth ride and not very fast but great fun, all helped by the weather being very nice this weekend;)

[Ron]

What a bizarre looking vessel. Cool shot with the steam pouring out of the stack. Looks like you're having a great time.

@stray_shooter Thanks very much Ron, it was built in England, based on a Italian gondola design with shallow depth, being engineers a steam engine added to the design, its been refurbished using all the original equipment and fittings, looks good for 155 years old;)
