I think my bank manager would generate enough steam to power her if I asked for that sort of overdraft.

Did you follow the link to the interior photos and plans?

I did, looks beautifully done, didn't this one used to be on the rhine as Rudesheim or Goethe?

A brief history of this lovely paddler - http://www.paddlesteamers.info/Rudesheim.htm
It's also in Russell Plummer's book - Paddle Steamers of the 1990's.

Hi PD's.....somewhere we have images of PS Goethe in our files........I think she was build in 1918.....with that gold scrolling possibly the same builders?

Goethe didn't have the glass atrium above the upper deck PS De Majesteit .....nor did she appear as opulent in her internal décor........ Derek
