Explore a real steam-powered steel-hulled paddle-wheeler, the last of her kind in Canada. Take a look at a real work horse of her time, the steam tug S.S. Naramata, See displays that show the life and times of people in the early Okanagan.
A visit to Penticton isn't complete without seeing the classic vessels of the Inland Marine Heritage Park.
