Description:

Now at the Australian Maritime Museum in Sydney, undergoing restoration however now operational and sails on charter.
The Steam Yacht Ena is a steam powered yacht that was built in 1900 for Thomas Dibbs, the commodore of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. During World War I, the yacht was purchased by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and used as an auxiliary patrol vessel in the waters around the Torres Strait and Thursday Island, before later being used as a training ship tender. In the early 1930s, the RAN disposed of the yacht and it returned to civilian service, being used for a number of purposes including transportation of produce and fishing. After sinking in the early 1980s, the yacht was refloated and eventually restored. It subsequently circumnavigated Australia, as part of a visit to Western Australia during the 1987 America's Cup and then served as a private charter vessel. It was restored again in the 1990s

"SY" ia a prefix, not part of the name itself
Strictly speaking she has been officially registered as ENA III since 2014, but she is universally known as ENA.
