Join us for a week long party to celebrate the centenary of the TSS Earnslaw - the last hand coal-fired, passenger carrying steamship in the southern hemisphere.

Large crowds gathered at Queenstown Bay for the launch of the TSS Earnslaw on 18th October 1912, it created such a stir that a public holiday was declared the next day so people could travel on a special trip to Glenorchy. A hundred years later this vintage steamship is set to create another stir at her centenary celebrations. A week long party includes special lake cruises, period costumes, bands, entertainment, food and lots of activities for the family. This is an event not to be missed – check out our website: www.tssearnslaw.co.nz
