Here's the RMS Segwun.. I believe her hull and machinery were built in Scotland and she was completed in Canada in the 1860s... She served the communities in the "Thousand Islands" on the Trent-Severn system, she lives in Gravenhurst now and earned her "RMS" title because she carried the mail among the islands, on a totally inland fresh water sysetem. Connected to the sea I believe by locks to the St. Lawrence, but she never saw salt water again after her passage from Scotland. I've been for a ride and spent most of the time in the engine room. Lots of brass and shiny hot things down there. The engineer was a nice elderly fellow, who let a ten year old boy scramble around with him in the guts of the ship-I'm sure they wouldn't allow that nowadays.

The former Pride and Joy of the state I now live in,Oregon. The BB3 Oregon- a pre-Dreadnaught Battle ship is not bad in my either. She was not the most sophisticated of designs by European standards- but a fellow club member has an out standing scale model so I get to learn a lot about her and see his model sail..

his model under way ( with the later modified cage mizzenmast)

Waverley is my favourite steam ship. I have travelled on her so many times I can't remember every trip (my family have been Paddle Steamer Preservation Society members for ages) but I haven't been on her for quite some time of late.

My personal favourite boat is not steam powered, but the engine is 50 odd, so I think she gets away with it.

Great thread,

I love the Waverley and will be going in 2 weeks in Scotland on her

ive also been on PS Ryde on her last voyage, ran from the Isle of Wight to Southampton- Maybe Jay might remember her, though he was probably not born then!

Also I love the Gondola on Lake Coniston. SOMEWHERE I have pics but heres the National Trust link

http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/m...gondola/w-gondola-steam_yacht.htm

I see they have gone "Green " this year- I do hope theyve properly researched it, as differernt sources of heat create different unforseen problems sometimes- even anthrasite and Polish coal burn with different results.

The steam gondola is one of the quietest journeys Ive been on- well worth a go if you are in the Lake district.

The AFRICAN QUEEN. I know that in the movie it was really a diesel fuel boat and the boiler was just a dummy, but still...The person who owns it now has converted it to steam and it is down in Key West, Fla. the last I heard.
