Title: PLAN SOURCES
Post by: Walter Snowdon on September 19, 2006, 05:34:11 AM: I Intend over the next few weeks to list sources of plans of paddle steamers in old periodicals and Museums and Libraries which I have knowledge of.

PS Citizen ? ? Iron Steam Boat Co.

That'd be the LCC steamer? I believe one of them was named 'Citizen'....
Title: PLAN SOURCES
Post by: AlistairD on September 22, 2006, 08:01:42 AM: NO these were long before the LCC Steamers, they were named alphabetically from CITIZENÂ A to CITIZEN S, built 1845 to 1873. They operated on a similar route to the LCC steamers, but initially ran upriver to Chelsea and Kew, later to Hampton Court.

Title: Requisitined warships parliamentary report.
Post by: Walter Snowdon on September 23, 2006, 06:11:40 AM: All these ships were capable of prolonged seagoing, with a view to arming them as steam corvettes or troop carriers or despatch vessels and led eventually to the programme of subsidising the building of large merchantmen capable of becoming auxiliary cruisers which reached it height during the early 20th century and during WW1. This programme led eventualy to STUFT ships. (Ships Taken Up From Trade). Regards, walter.
