Valeriy V Posted January 11, 2019 Author #173 Posted January 11, 2019 Since we are talking about shipping company models of the 1900s ... For the time being, I have been looking without success for detailed photos of two models of liners of the type "Empress of Japan" (1895). The first model is stored in Vancouver maritime museum, the second model is in the Canada Science and Technology Museum Ottawa. Perhaps one of our members of the forum will be able to photograph them in detail? Seamanpeter, Canute, DORIS and 8 others 11 Quote
