The Countess The Gateway Countess is the smallest boat of the Gateway Clipper Fleet measuring 55 feet long and 14 feet wide. She is the fleet’s only open air riverboat. The Countess began service in Pittsburgh in 1979 under the name “City of Champions” in honor of the Steelers and Pirates Championships. In 1982, she was renamed the Good Ship Lollipop and she was rechristened again in 2008 as the Countess. A little known fact about the Countess – she is the fastest boat of the fleet!
