A nice ship indeed! She sails several times a day from Queenstown, New Zealand giving lake tours. More info here:- TSS Earnslaw Steamship Lake Cruises | Official Queenstown Website
Well worth a visit, as is Queenstown and - in happier times - New Zealand itself.

The story of how TSS Earnslaw is in Wikipedia and is very interesting to read.

There are plenty of photos in google images of this remarkable ship.

The photo in the link Fossil provided does show the lower row of portholes going underwater near the transom. I doubt if that would be permitted in today's ships.
