Did anyone see this in Paddle Wheels, autumn 2006?

also http://www.dehoop.net/ship.php?shipnumber=NB104
and http://www.dehoop.net/ship.php?shipnumber=NB103

...OK, not 'preserved vessels' in the way we'd think of them but interesting, and they seem to have been around for a few years now.....
(eg. it says of the first one "delivered in 1988 by Heusden to Nagasaki Holland Village")

This is at a historical theme park in Japan, Huis  ten Bosch
