ELIZABETHAN paddle steamer

Post by aukepalmhof » Sat Feb 22, 2020 2:36 am

Togo issued in 2014 a set of stamps and a miniature sheet which shows us paddle steamers.

The 750 f stamp shows us the stern paddle steamer ELIZABETHAN.
I have tried to find her details and builder but have had not much luck, so when one of the readers can supply this. She is now a tourist attraction on the River Thames.
The info below is from web-sites on the internet.

The ELIZABETHAN is a beautiful replica of an 1890’s stern-wheeled paddle steamer.
The lower deck offers a comfortable dining space with large picture windows and rich mahogany paneling. A traditional polished brass staircase leads to the spacious upper deck which boasts a retractable roof, promenade walkway, and plush leather seating

(Max 235 passengers)
Rich with character, the ´ELIZABETHAN ´ has the unique exterior of a 19th-century Paddle steamer coupled with the interior of a top London restaurant and night club. Even more so, since her refurbishment in March 2013. The fabrics, furnishings, and decor have set new standards of luxury for the Thames. A novel Upper Deck promenade walkway and one of the largest outside areas of any Thames riverboat. Clear views of the floodlit panorama of the river from either level. Larger windows have been installed on the lower level to maximize viewing. She even features a large sliding sunroof above the dance floor so you quite literally can 'dance beneath the stars'!
Her refurbishment has seen 9 screens installed over both decks. Thus, allowing you to display a number of features whether it be your table plan or photos/video.
She seats up to 140 for a silver service meal but can take up to 235 for a drinks reception. For a seated buffet she can hold up to 136. A full range of Entertainment options from Discotheques to Jazz Bands, Magicians to Casinos. Cruise and pick up from Putney to the Thames Barrier. An unbeatable venue for a party with style and panache. Tastefully themed. Fully centrally-heated throughout. 2 large bars.
