The Ozone was a ship built in 1886 near Glasgow, in Scotland. It could exceed 17 knots and is regarded as one of the finest paddle steamers ever built.
The Ozone was commissioned by the Bay Excursion Company and relocated to Australia, becoming a great favourite on Port Phillip Bay, in Victoria, and remained in service there for many years.
