Title: Australian National Maritime Museum - models
Post by: Paulrjordan on June 14, 2005, 05:36:19 PM
This is a very nicely laid out website and one of the FEW Museums who
provide a list of their Ship models. However, I could only find one
paddler on the models list:

Sophia Jane Sailor's waterline model of the paddle steamer Sophia
Jane, Lake Macquarie, New South Wales,
Australia. c.1937.

Doesn't give nay dimensions or scale. Maybe some of our Ozzie members
can recognize if there are any other paddlers in the list. Seems
strange there are no Murray/Darling models in there. If any
Paddleducks have visited this Museum or are planning to, we'd
appreciate hearing from you and anyone passing through Sydney, NSW
should check this museum out as it looks to be rather good. Here's
their website:
