Ahem Vint' I think you'll find we don't do as badly as you think over here- off the top of my head public service steam boats in Britain;
- SY Gondola, Coniston Water,
- SS Sir Walter Scott, Loch Katrine,
- SL Alaska, Thames,
- SL Nuneham, Thames,
- SS Sheildhall, (?)
- PS Monarch, Isle Of Man,
- PS Kingswear Castle (?)
And there are a few more that I can't remember, plus PS Medway Queen is under full reconstruction.
