DS URI

In Luzern, so a sneaky off-location image. The paddle steamer "D.S. Uri" leaving the quai alongside the Konzerthalle Luzern. Named after one of the 4 forest cantons that formed the original Swiss Federation.

....and still using the same piston set, and the crank not even showing a sign of wear.

Hope you had a good time in Luzern.

Apropos Chuckeroon's comment, have you been on the Schiller? They have to oil the beast every few stops! And yet they keep it sparkling clean, for the tourists, of course. A wide angle lens and a higher-sensitivity low-noise device would have come in very handy to photograph the power- and drive- systems. My photos turned out a little disappointing.
