As I was rummaging in my attic I found an old "MODEL Ship Builder" magazine from May/June 1999.
It was published in Cedarburg, Wisconsin by a Jeffrey Phillips.
This is not to be confused with the online Canadian www.modelshipbuilder.com. This is a PDF online only.
The magazine has an extensiv story and photos of the 1896 142 foot Canadian rear paddle wheeler "Kokanee"
Since the article is copyrighted and I can't find where to ask permission, how can I post or put this article for posterity.
I have scanned it .

All the Model Shipbuilder magazines are still available in CD format from the publishers of Seaways Ships in Scale magazine in the US. They must be the copyright holders.

The, more modern, Ships in Scale magazine is an excellent magazine for model ship/boat builders and the older issues again are available as CD's.
