UNTERWALDEN (SGV)

Paddle steamer built at Zurich and then re-assembled at Lucerne that entered service in 1902 for Schiffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstattersees (SGV). Rebuilt in 1961 to allow the funnel to be retracted and the masts lowered, with a fixed canopy placed over the upper deck. Withdrawn in 1977 but after an extensive campaign to saver her a major rebuild commenced in 1982 and she returned to service in 1985. Another rebuild commenced in 2008 to return her to her pre-1961 appearance and she returned to service in 2011.
