Great pictures Taifoo
 Looks like not all are military and some could be really intersting models. The Russian Fleet Handbook 1861-1917 lists about 25 military paddlers under the  general heading of steamers. These  pictures really enhance the plain text.

That IS nice. Looks like a Russian Royal Yacht. Is that a GANGUT class dreadnought fitting out in the background?. It looks like maybe a launching or some such ceremony by the number of crew lining the battleships decks. Regards, Walter.

Wheel three-masted two-pipe "Alexandria", which moved the family and retinue of Nicholas II after the accident, "Standart" in 1907, became the last of the sixteen imperial steam yacht, built from 1851 to the Baltic and Black Sea fleets. Still living out his life first "Alexandria", excluded from the Baltic fleet at the end of 1906, when completed construction of a new "Alexandria". It was conducted in St. Petersburg at the Baltic Shipyard. Official bookmark already be on the stocks, "Alexandria" took place on Aug. 16, 1903 in the presence not only of Nicholas II, and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and Maria Feodorovna, the Greek Queen Olga Konstantinovny, General-Admiral Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich, all officers of the Naval Ministry and leadership Baltic Shipyard. After 13 days, August 29, the yacht was launched and immediately ranked among the Guards, and in 1904 incorporated into the Baltic Fleet. Its builder was a naval architect G. Lidov, and sketches of external design of the ship and its interiors developed served at the Baltic Shipyard as an "architect for finishing and decorating the ships," N. D. Prokofiev, by that time the academician of architecture. Bulwarks at the bow and stern ends of the yacht was decorated with free-flowing pattern, similar to the style of "modern". Figurehead, unlike the first "Alexandria", was designed as a double-headed eagle, but with preservation of the carved images of the stars of the Order of St. Andrew's with elements of the English Order of the Garter, decorating wheel housings. In 1903, Prokofiev wrote for Salon yachts more than 20 watercolors of the same size, but whether these watercolors are placed on "Alexandria", remained unknown, because all of them in 1914 came from the Winter Palace in the Maritime Museum.
Since it was anticipated that the second "Alexandria", replacing the first, must go to Peterhof, standing there in a shallow jetty and swim in the shallow waters of Finnish archipelago, it decided to build a wheel with a draft of no more than b-foot (1.83 m), similar in dimensions and displacement screw vessel would be significantly more precipitation. The length of the Alexandria was 61 m, width - 7,9 m, displacement - 501 m. Its steam engine 1107 hp provided the speed of 14.5 knots.

It was at the Alexandria Nicholas II, has hosted two of Raymond Poincare, the first time as prime minister in June 1912, and the second time - as the president of France in July 1914.

During the war, Nicholas II, only twice sailed on the "Alexandria". July 7, 1915, he walked her to Kronstadt to explore emerging from repair cruisers Oleg "and" Hercules ", and July 15 - to visit the battleship Tsesarevich.

Since May 1918 the yacht was in reserve mine division Baltic Fleet, and from April 1921 was at the disposal of the Chief of Defence of Lake Ladoga. In 1922 it put on the long-term storage in the port of Kronstadt, and in 1927 was dismantled.

Thank you again Taifoon.
Beautiful ship. I could be sorely tempted to slot this one in before my current full load of craft to draw and build.
Its definitely added to the list, but will have to finish at least some of the the current ones first.

The Kiama

Painted in 1861 by Frederick Garling, this watercolour depicts the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company's paddle steamer Kiama entering Sydney Heads. North Head is in the background and the ship flies the Red Ensign at the stern, and the company's house flag from the main mast. The Kiama served ports south of Sydney on the New South Wales coast carrying passengers and some cargo.
