Cleopatra was a "cylinder ship" built to take Cleopatra's Needle from Alexandria to London in 1877. The obelisk weighed more than 200 tons. It was encased in a cylindrical iron pontoon which was then rolled by means of levers and chains down a track into the sea. The pontoon was fitted with a deck-house, mast, rudder and steering gear and was crewed by Maltese sailors. The pontoon was towed to Great Britain by the steamship Olga leaving on 21 September 1877. Captain Henry Carter supervised Cleopatra's building and became her commander. Captain Booth commanded Olga.

has abstract	Die Barge Cleopatra wurde ausschließlich für den Transport der „Nadel der Kleopatra“, eines Obelisken, von Ägypten nach London 1877/78 konstruiert. (de) Cleopatra was a "cylinder ship" built to take Cleopatra's Needle from Alexandria to London in 1877. The obelisk weighed more than 200 tons. It was encased in a cylindrical iron pontoon which was then rolled by means of levers and chains down a track into the sea. The pontoon was fitted with a deck-house, mast, rudder and steering gear and was crewed by Maltese sailors. The pontoon was towed to Great Britain by the steamship Olga leaving on 21 September 1877. Captain Henry Carter supervised Cleopatra's building and became her commander. Captain Booth commanded Olga. On 14 October 1877 the Cleopatra was in danger of sinking off France in the Bay of Biscay. The steam-ship towing her, the Olga, sent six volunteers in a boat to take off the Cleopatra's crew, but the boat swamped and the volunteers drowned. Eventually the Olga managed to draw alongside and rescue Cleopatra's crew of five and skipper, they cut the towrope, and left the vessel adrift in the Bay. Five days later a ship spotted the ‘Cleopatra’ floating undamaged off the northern coast of Spain, and she was towed to the Ferrol, Galicia. There a steam-ship, the Anglia, arrived to tow her to London. They arrived at Gravesend on 21 January 1878. Cleopatra was broken up immediately after the obelisk had been removed on 6 July 1878. The needle was installed on the Thames Embankment in September 1878, where it still stands.
