Bosphorus Paddle Steamer built by Messrs. Green in the mid 1850’s. She was 165 feet in length and 21 feet in beam. Her draught was 5 feet. Another really nice looking vessel which would make a great model.
I spent a few years working in Turkey during the mid 1980’s and often sat in the café’s under Galata Bridge, which spanned the Golden Horn, watching the ferries weaving in and out of each other. I can just imagine what these old steamers would have looked and sounded like.
