Dear Rainer
I'm building an 8-metre steam boat around an 1895 Simpson-Strickland AB quad
steam engine. Progress photos attached.
The hull is a copy of a 10.5 metre Simpson-Strickland of the same vintage,
except we are adding a cabin and still debating whether to use hydraulic
steering or use rope and blocks as per the original.
Best regards from New Zealand
