92' Edwardian Cruising Houseboat (1909) - M/V LOTUS

The mission of the M/V Lotus Foundation is to restore and preserve the 1909 Motor Vessel Lotus, an historic 1909 Edwardian Cruising Houseboat moored on South Lake Union at the Historic Ships Wharf behind the Museum of History and Industry. Our mission is to provide a gathering place where Pacific Northwest Maritime History comes alive, and the traditions and wisdom of traveling, living and playing on the water is experienced and passed along to future generations. We offer tours, overnight lodging, event rental space and Sunday teas. The M/V Lotus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visit our website for more on Lotus’ unique history and how you can experience time aboard first hand, learning about life on the water in 1909 and today. We are a 501(C)(3) Non-profit Foundation.
