The Paddle Steamer Waimarie is an historic riverboat based on the Whanganui River in New Zealand. She is the only coal–fired paddle steamer still operating in New Zealand. Waimarie was built in 1899 by Yarrow & Co. in London and transported to New Zealand in kitset form to be assembled at Whanganui. She operated on the Whanganui River for 49 years before being laid up. In 1952 she sank at her moorings and lay in the mud for the next 40 years.

  • The Paddle Steamer Waimarie is an historic riverboat based on the Whanganui River in New Zealand. She is the only coal–fired paddle steamer still operating in New Zealand. Waimarie was built in 1899 by Yarrow & Co. in London and transported to New Zealand in kitset form to be assembled at Whanganui. She operated on the Whanganui River for 49 years before being laid up. In 1952 she sank at her moorings and lay in the mud for the next 40 years. However, in 1993 Waimarie was raised from the riverbed, and a six year restoration effort led to her return to service in 2000. PS Waimarie is now a popular tourist attraction in Whanganui, with 2 hour cruises on the river available most days during the summer season. (en)
