Steamboats and other rivercraft - general discussion
Jim Lad replied to Cathead's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Taken on our recent trip to South Australia, these are the sad remains of the paddle steamer 'Wagga Wagga' near the bank of the Murrumbidgee River at Narrandera in New South Wales. Not much is known about the early history of this steamer. She was a typical Murray/Darling cargo steamer, built about 1884 and used for towing barges of timber, wool and produce, mainly on the Murrumbidgee River. She was finally abandoned when she sprung a leak and sank at Narrandera in November 1918. This is one of the few photos of the 'Wagga Wagga' when she was in service. John- 281 replies

Just catching up after a long break from your thread. You've done a marvellous job on those paddle wheels. If I ever get around to building a Murray River steamer (mostly side-wheelers) I'll know just where to come! John

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
