The Steam Yacht Gondola is a much rebuilt Victorian, screw-propelled passenger vessel, launched in 1859. She was built to carry passengers for the Furness Railway’s steamer service and was in commercial service until 1936 when she was retired and 10 years later converted to a houseboat.
In 1979 she was extensively rebuilt by Vickers Shipbuilders of Barrow and is now operated by the National Trust.
