The Aquard was a steamer which traveled the Nile River. T. E. Lawrence was looking for a steamer to take himself, Indiana Jones and Helen Seymour from Cairo to Luxor in May, 1908, and the vessel was mentioned by the ticketmaster. Despite being the earliest steamer to leave for Luxor, the Aquard wouldn't be departing for another three days, which prompted Lawrence to instead make the journey on Captain Patch's dhow.
