Title: Thaks for letting me join.
Post by: edwardpj on February 06, 2020, 11:53:51 PM

Hi,

I'm Edward, from North Wales.  I haven't modelled a paddle steamer before although have built numerous boats in the past.  The reason why I plan to is because my great grandfather was the chief engineer on RMS CONNAUGHT (1).  He died in 1894, aged 68 and is buried in a cemetery in Holyhead.  I would like to build a small model of her.  Any assistance in getting some plans of CONNAUGHT will be gratefully received.

Happy boating!

Edward
