Title: P.S Sirius
Post by: Merv on April 09, 2009, 07:39:03 AM

When I was a young man in the late 70s or early 80s.I borrowed a book from the library about building the paddle ship Sirius.I photocopied the plans and built the hull.Unfortunately I lost the plans and have never seen the book again.I still have the hull and would love to Finnish the model.For many years I have searched for this book without success.Does anyone know the book???
Thanks, Merv

Hi,
You might try looking at the British Library catalog on line--they have one of everything printed--at least in theory.
   In William Mowll's book  the S.S. Gret Britain, Building the Model, pages 18-23 will provide some information as well as external view and deck view. some photos of his model. No body or lines included.
