Italie, Historic paddle steamer in Ouchy, Switzerland
The Italie paddle steamer stretches 66 meters in length and contains two electric motors producing 270 kilowatts of power for navigation on Lake Geneva.
Built in 1908, this vessel operated for five decades along Lake Geneva, connecting the towns between Le Bouveret and Geneva with regular passenger service.
The Italie forms part of the Belle Epoque fleet on Lake Geneva, recognized as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional importance.
