Rhône

Rhône

Rhône
pages
are listed below
. There is a table of all CGN individual ship histories on the
CGN Header Page
.
Rhône
was built in 1927, the last paddle steamer built for CGN. Her 2-cylinder compound engine has hydraulically-driven valves and an automatic lubrication system which requires enclosed cranks. She previously worked the daily Geneva-St Gingolph-Geneva service opposite
Italie
, but now works one of the two-day rosters with
Henry Dunant
or, in peak season, with
Vevey
. This requires overnight stops in either Ouchy and Geneva, running alternately Geneva-Ouchy-St Gingolph-Ouchy, then Ouchy-St Gingolph-Ouchy-Geneva.
