The Viola is a steam trawler built in 1906 in Hull. She is the oldest surviving steam trawler in the world.[3][4] During her long career, she was known as HMT Viola, Kapduen, and Dias.[5][6] She is currently beached at Grytviken in South Georgia, though there are currently plans afoot to return her to Hull.
