Launched in 1911, Rhinegold is a historic Vancouver-built 35-foot classic motor yacht. A rare example of an almost unaltered and intact power boat built at a time when gas powered launches were a rarity, she is now moored in Heritage Harbour at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. Rhinegold now sports her fourth engine, a modern, reliable, 50HP Isuzu diesel, in her thirty-five foot long, eight-foot wide Fir on Oak hull.
