Hi,
the following link shows the site of the Förderverein Südbayersiches Schiffahrtsmuseum, which has the intention to establich a shipping mudseum at Stegen at the Ammersee. I am one of the 2 vice- presidents. We have good archives and lot of informations about steamers, ships, paddlers fishing and so far about this region. And all 3 years we publish a new book about our theme.
So if there will be research about bavarian paddlers, this address can be taken, I think, answer will come.
