1967 PUNO HARBOUR, LAKE TITICACA, PERU at an altitude of 3,812 metres (12,507 feet) in the Andes. The Yavari, built by the Thames Iron Works and Shipbuilding Company, London in 1861 was the oldest of the small fleet of steamships that plied the lake with pasengers and cargo between Peru and Bolivia. It was launched in 1870, in 1895 it was made longer and in 1914 the steam engines were replaced by a Bolinder diesel engine. The ship was continually in use until the early 1970s. In 1987 a project was launched in London to renovate the old ship and now (2015) it again makes occasional trips on the lake.
