Just watch first rate video from our member Don about his very exactly built blockade runner "Presto". Really very good film: Paddle Steamer Presto, Civil War Blockade Runner on youtube.

 

Thomas......is this the video link for the PS Presto that you mention?.......I cannot place it as being posted on PD's in the past........

Yes, it`s the right link, Derek. Yesterday I enlarged the plan of PS "Presto"/"Dare" to 1 : 46, she is nearly a smaller construction of "Hope". May be in the next days I can post some pictures running on water of her.

Autumn pictures with "Hope" my wife made today. Last picture shows the young Danube near Ehingen without ship.

 

Beautiful boat and pictures!
