TSS Earnslaw at Queenstown wharf, New Zealand

            The Earnslaw conducts cruises daily around Lake Wakitipu. The last ending at 10pm. She made her maiden voyage 18 October 1912.

Launched by New Zealand Rail in 1912, the TSS Earnslaw is the last surviving and grandest steamship to have ever graced Lake Wakatipu.

Named after Mount Earnslaw (the highest peak in the region), she is 168 feet in length, 24 feet across the beam and weighs 330 tons. Originally built by J McGregor & Co in Dunedin at a cost of £20,850, the TSS Earnslaw was dismantled and transported by rail to Kingston at the lake’s southern tip for reassembly and launching.

The TSS Earnslaw has since served the remote farming communities around Lake Wakatipu, including the original Walter Peak Station. Her working roles have included cargo ship, livestock carrier, passenger transporter and pleasure steamer. 

The TSS Earnslaw Vintage Steamship is a much-loved part of Queenstown’s history.
