Each year the Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstattersees" (SGV) paddlers undertake a parade where the whole fleet (of operable paddle steamers) undertakes a cruise around the Lucerne Lake, sailing in various formations and providing excellent views for those on the lakeshore but especially those aboard the steamers, which are invariably booked solid for this special day.
The following paddle steamers take part in the yearly dampfer parade all are owned by the SGV. Could not figure out the identity of the paddle steamers on the stamp, but the following five ships were used.
