Some progress. Applied sanding sealer and primer. Waterway, hawse holes and bulwark stanchions are fitted.

Herr Falck, thanks for the picture. I can't see your first message, if I'm not wrong you named a ship in it.

Hey Jan, thank you very much for the Photos, valuable Information there. I think I may add them to my FlickR album of Loreley. Exactly, they do like deadeyes with a cover on them. From the beginning I did have doubts. It's interesting that there are so many pictures none of them having a clear view of the deadeyes.

Keit, there is no problem of criticising. You are right asking this. From the beginning I did have doubts and I do still have. I've drawn them as deadeyes (with reservation) to finish the drawings. At that time I didn't asked this here at MSW, which I'm doing now. Thanks for your wishes.

Keith, all the Information I used is here. (There are pages 1-2 ) https://www.flickr.com/photos/ilhan_gokcay/albums/72157640009407453

Thanks Druxey. No its not, it breaks easily at a strong hit. But I found it easy to let it cut by laser rather than cutting myself a 1 mm thick brass. I can cut brass but I overestimated cutting a big part of 1 mm brass. It's okey when I take care. Even after a few breaks. 😉

Thanks Valeriy, exactly.

I'm almost finished with the drawings. But I do still encounter questions. Any idea what this can be ?? A lamp or ? here is only this side view.

Hey Vince hello, I hope you are well.
Referring to my drawings I have two more points which I'm uncertain and would ask you if you have an opinion.
For the outside bearing support of the shaft of the paddle wheel there is only one cross section drawing. On this drawing it's said that there is a hole 15'' Dia. So I assume that this support is box like construction (like prisma) , two triangular side plates and the front is also covered with a plate with a hole in center.
But in such a case it would be always water at the bottom of the box. Is that plausible or how can this construction be? Do you have any idea ?

Going on with the drawing process I wonder if it is plausible that sponsons are sloping inwards to the ship. It is on the original drawings.

Thanks Vince, I will share the plans when they are ready. I use a CAD program (2D) for drawing. It's QCad (https://www.qcad.org/en/) easy to use(and learn) and effective. It's also not expensive. For the line plan I used "DelftShip" and transferred the file(dxf output) to QCAd. The free version of "DelftShip" is sufficient for my purpose. She is built by Fairfield Shipbuilding Company, Glasgow in 1903, 52m long ferry.

Vince, I appreciate very much your detailed explanation. I see I'm going the same road as you, I'm also researching and develeoping plans of a British built Turkish paddle steamer ferry for Bhosporus/Istanbul. I have a couple of books about steam ships but not much info about the construction of a paddle box and beams etc. (And also usually photos and drawings from Internet.) That's why I keep asking questions. But it is getting clearer. My last question would be about the beams of the paddle decks. I assume that their positions are where the stays are. But they are not like the two main atwartship beams of the paddle box (like the one on the cross section drawing), aren't they. Can they be simple I beams or angles ? Attached some views of my plan. Regards

Hey Vince thanks for the info. I believed that the stays (I call them "support") are to support the beams (I call them "sponson") and the paddle box. Interesting. So there are beams with no stays where I marked red as the one shown on the cross section plan. Then next to these beams there are stays very close to them. Do these stays end simply at the outer edge or are there again beams to hold these stays and also support the paddle box deck.
