The paddle
steamer languishes at Dervio dock, near Como
moored next to the new mv Orione
On Sunday 10th September PS Patria was waiting
to be towed to the
"Centobarche" exhibition at Como between 22nd and 24th
September

Sadly, this was cancelled at the
last minute
so the paddle steamer remained at Dervio Dock throughout
the Centobarche weekend
- it is hoped work will start on her restoration next year
