I think, the paddler on the picture is no original, but a new ship with the same name.

It's a interesting ship and it seems, that it is rather close to the original boat.

Do you have any informations about the dimensions of the replica, the ownership and the year, the replica was built?
Probably it is not steamdriven?

Thanks

the ship was rebuilt between 2006-2007 it was delivered around the 06AUG07
it is 35 meters long and 7 meters wide without the paddle wheels (if my french is good enough)
it was a ship type that was common to the Loire and three of these ships was at the river Neckar.
