TSS Earnslaw

Launched in 1912, this historic coal-fired twin-screw steamship is a significant piece of engineering heritage. It remains the last coal-fired passenger steamship operating in the Southern Hemisphere. The vessel features a working engine room where the steam engines are visible during operation.

The ship consists of several decks, including a Promenade Café for refreshments and various historical displays. It travels to the Walter Peak High Country Farm, providing an opportunity to observe the mechanical workings of early 20th-century maritime technology.

The steamship is open to the public for scenic cruises and transport. Alpine scenery is visible throughout the journey, and the historic decks and engine room are accessible for viewing.
