120 Years on Lake Geneva!
Originally built for John and Louise Mitchell, the Louise was added to the excursion fleet in 1930. Having been converted from steam power to gas, she underwent a complete restoration from 1975 to 1978 when a 1926 Plenty and Sons steam engine was installed. Today she is the only lake steam yacht running on steam.
