funky looking indeed

Really interesting, I've never heard of these boats before! They surely must win the "world's smallest paddle warship" prize 
With their very simple hull shape, one of these would make a great subject for a larger scale scratchbuild - though the paddle wheels look pretty intricate considering how small they are.
