I'm still on the laptop until tonight.
This one has a known name, Eva.  What was the original's location and duty?

Here is another in the series of mystery models: freelance generic, or based on a specific original?
So far, the knowledge base hasn't been expanded greatly.
I have three more after this one.

Here is another, with the usual questions: the prototype on which it was based.

Perhaps everyone can look out for them at this year's paddleboat rally, and talk to the owners?

not sure about the others but the last one has to be 'Charlotte Dundas' - I've seen one in the science museum

Only a couple more to go.
Freelance, or a specific original?

I don't know if this one shown is of a specific boat, but this type was used in the logging industry in Canada and were originally designed and built in Simcoe Ontario. There is an example of one in Algonquin Provincial Park and there is a propeller driven one in operation in Simcoe.

That was an interesting application described in the response to image 18.

Here is an elegant vessel.  The usual questions: specific prototype, or generic?

that grey one is a semi-scale princess elizabeth in wartime condition, a kit is available (usually seen in passenger service colours - and without the anti-aircraft guns) but I'm not sure where from...

Hi,
        as to img 16 ..I think it could be ZULU sternwheeler. Zulu plans should be here somewhere to download...

Thanks for all of those identifications.  I had overlooked this thread while keeping up with news and questions in other threads.  Photo 19 (Princess Elizabeth) was the last of the series which I had saved for identification, so there are no more.
