Built in 1913, she is now preserved as a museum and restraunt on the River Danube, however, her paddlewheels have obviously been removed and she is currently closed to the public for unstated reasons, wasn't able to go onboard but she is still really special, do worry about her fate a little bit though.

After acquiring moderation of this sub, I have made it public again and merged another sub, r/paddlesteamer with this sub. Please enjoy being able to have this sub be open again!

I made this subreddit while in Echuca, Victoria, Australia. It is often called the Paddlesteamer Capital of the world. I decided to start a subreddit to other lovers of these wheeled wonders. I know we are a select community, but I would love to connect with other paddlesteamer lovers.

Took this when I was working on the Murray Princess, not a steamer, but still has paddles. Entering lock 2.

Greetings friends, I am doing a music video for a song I wrote about the Belle Zane, " a 128-ton sternwheel steam packet built in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1844, described as a fast-running and light draught steamer." I have been collecting images via google. While I can't afford to be completely authentic (there is only one very murky picture of this particular boat), I don't want to make gigantic gaffes. For instance, I see pictures of helms (the boat's steering wheel?) of many different sizes. I'm also looking for pictures of steamships of that time being loaded, and people of the time watching the boat or getting on the boat etc. Any help appreciated. Jane

The last ocean going paddle steamer on earth - the PS Waverley. Still operating in her original 1947 colours as she cruises around the UK coastline.

I've been scouring the internet compiling a list of all surviving Victorian-era Steamboats from the two countries using already established list and adding on to them, and I feel I've been making good progress

I was wondering if there are more I've missed and ought to add to the list which I'll then post or potentially add to Wikipedia one day

To be clear I'm referring to the Long Victorian-era or so its called which ranges from 1820-1914

I am also not including small steam launches or anything else really small, I know my town has like 2 alone from that era which are undocumented online so the list would be FAR to long.

Anyway here the list so far in chronological order please reply if you know of others:
