Uri
(Built: 1901)
293.6 tons - 650 hp - Length 61.8m - Passenger
Capacity 800
Uri was built in 1901 by Gebrüder
Sulzer. It is very similar to Unterwalden built 1902 by Escher
Wyss. Uri received major rebuilds in 1949, 1961, 1981 and 1994, the
latest returning to a more original appearance, following a lengthy period
running with an ungainly retractable funnel design and ugly fixed upper deck
cover.
