Mark  Possibly the Mary Ann in SA.

Currently the oldest wooden paddlesteamer in the world is the P.S. Adelaide. Or so it is said.  My first project.

PS Mary Ann hasn't survived.  PS Adelaide has, and is now over 150 years old.  AFAIK there only two older paddlesteamers (but not wooden hull): Skibladner (Norway) and one in Denmark.  They are mentioned in other threads in this forum.
