Three steamer ships are currently in operation in Bangladesh. They were built in India in the early 20s.
Until fairly recently, the paddle wheels were powered by a continually stoked wood fire. Now, they rely on diesel fuel.
I was lucky enough to get an air-conditioned berth in a first-class cabin.
There were several others "classes" of service, but most people paid very little for a spot on the floor.
It was a 23-hour trip from Dhaka to Morelgonj.
