RussR Posted July 2, 2020 #1 Posted July 2, 2020 I wish that I knew about this website before I started my Chaperon build. https://www.jensmittelbach.de/steamboats/chaperon/resources.html RussR Cathead 1 "Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away" by Robert Fulghum

Cathead Posted July 5, 2020 #4 Posted July 5, 2020 An extra-nice detail: in the "Ladies Cabin" location on the boiler deck (go inside the main cabin and head toward the stern), there's an 1845 painting of fur traders on the Missouri River by Missouri artist George Caleb Bingham on the wall. A slightly odd choice as Chaperon was an Ohio River boat in a much later era, but as I love Bingham's work documenting scenes of American western rivers during the early steamboat period, it was really cool to see this one hanging there. mtaylor and jmiba 2 Eric Missouri River craft (scratchbuilt): 1893 steamboat Peerless; 1853 steamboat Arabia; 1865 steamboat Bertrand; Lewis & Clark barge; keelboat; 1876 steamboat Far West; Nautical builds (kits): USS Cairo; NRG capstan project; NRG half-hull; Viking longship; US revenue cutter; 18th century longboat; Bounty launch
