In days gone by the Woolwich Free Ferry across the River Thames used
side-paddlewheel boats.  In my pre-teen years ~1960 I spent every
Saturday roaming London on an all-day bus Rover ticket.  I would
sometimes make a special diversion to Woolwich just to ride that ferry
from one side of the river to the other and back.  

The engine was visible to passengers, you could see the crank and
con-rods moving.  It was quite fascinating to a youngster like me.
