The
SIMPLON POSTCARDS
website is named after the
Simplon (3)
, the largest working paddle steamer on the Swiss lakes, which is owned and operated by the Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le lac Léman (CGN) on Lake Geneva. Completed in 1920, she is 70m long and could originally carry 1500 passengers. A 1400hp 2-Cylinder compound steam engine can drive her at 29.5kph. In recent years she was mainly used as reserve ship, based at Lausanne-Ouchy, and I only ever managed to
travel on her once
. She saw greater use whilst the diesel paddler
Montreux
was being rebuilt with new steam engines. In August 2003,
Simplon (3)
suffered a boiler room pipe burst, but re-entered service again in
July 2005
, as shown on this page, looking absolutely magnificent.
