High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Stadt Rapperswil is a steam paddle ship on Lake Zurich. She was built in 1914 by Escher, Wyss Cie. in Z rich for the Z richsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft. In contrast to most other Swiss paddle steamers, the most striking features of this vessel and its sister ship Stadt Z rich (1909) are a short smoke stack, and a spacious 1st class upper deck. The sister ships differ externally only minimally: In front, Stadt Rapperswil has a crossed flag mast. Her 1st class is more luxurious than her sister ship's, recognizable by mahogany and pear tree panelling, and an elaborate staircase to the upper 1st class deck.
