Congo River Steamers??? 1880s to 1920s (Yarrow&Co, etc)

[Jo Bush]

I'm trying to build a model of a Congo Stern Wheel Paddle Steamer like the ones during Henry Stanley's time period along the Congo.

I'm doing as much research as I can and have found photos but no plans of these steamers. Any suggestions on where to find plans to build a model? I've just recently contacted the Greenwich Maritime Museum, the Glasgow University archives, and also the Museum in Antwerp that holds the Belgium Martime Collection. It might take a while to hear back from them.

Any suggestions of finding SHIP PLANS?
