Does anybody have details of the DS Rigi, or could they recommend a book on her?
Models representing her original form have the companionways in their later positions on the centreline either end of the engine and boiler room, but as restored the aft companionway is right aft, just ahead of the wheel would be, (there doesn't seem to be one in the images I can find, but the companionway looks like it would get in the way of a tiller) and the forward companionway is offset to starboard. Does anybody know if this was the original layout?
Thanks
Brian
(I became curious after building the cardboard model which shows her as first preserved)
