The Ozone was a ship built in 1886 near Glasgow, in Scotland. It could exceed 17 kts and is regarded as one of the finest paddle steamers ever built[citation needed].
Ozone was commissioned by the Bay Excursion Company and relocated to Australia, where it became a great favorite on Port Phillip Bay, in Victoria, and remained in service there for many years.
