Jim Lad got a reaction from davyboy in Spyglasses in the early 18th century
Timboat, if you go to the following link at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, you'll find two telescopes from 1710.

Jim Lad got a reaction from greenstone in Steamboats and other rivercraft - general discussion
I thought members from the Northern Hemisphere might be interested in a couple of photos of the Australian paddle steamer 'Ruby'. 'Ruby' was a typical passenger vessel of the Murray/Darling Rivers system and was built in 1907 and carried 30 passengers. Although almost 133 feet long, her maximum draught when fully loaded with firewood and stores was never more than three feet. After a long and varied career as a passenger steamer, she was laid up in 1938 and used as a houseboat for thirty years, but sadly neglected. In 1968 she was purchased by the town of Wentworth, at the confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers, and hauled up into a park to be displayed on dry land. Her deterioration continued until 1996, when she was placed under the care of the local Shire Council. A restoration committee, ably led by Captain Leon Wagner, a highly experienced river boat Captain, was formed and restoration began. 'Ruby' was fully restored to her configuration when first built and the work was completed in 2004. 'Ruby' once more proudly sails the Murray/Darling system, usually under the expert hand of Captain Wagner.
