She didn't sink! she ran onto the rocks, was beached, repaired, moved to the Forth in 1909, went on to become a minesweeper and was broken uo in Algeria sometime around 1934.

There are many pictures of her on the web if you google her as a paddle steamer. As she was built by Barclay Curle the NMM probably hold drawings.

Hope this helps

The North British paddler Redgauntlet was beached on the south of Arran after striking rock ledges. She was refloated & returned to service. Will have a look for pictures

Model Shipwright did an article on building a model of her in the 1970s and published a 2 sheet plan at 48th scale. If you look in the photo section of paddleducks there should be a couple of photographs of a very good shipyard half-model held in the hidden collection of Glasgow transport museum. I took them about 4 years ago and I am pretty certain that Eddy posted them. regards, walter.
