Paddle steamer hulls

<< < (2/2)

Tug Fanatic:
When I was young & dinosaurs roamed the earth and paddle steamers roamed the Bristol Channel the best of them was Bristol Queen. She was built by Charles Hill in Bristol just after the war and was a very good ship in rough weather - much better than the rest of the fleet despite the fact that Charles Hill had very little experience of paddlers. This was always put down to the fact that Charles Hill had spent the war building River Class Frigates and Bristol Queen was a slightly modified frigate hull adapted for paddles.

Hellboy, looks worth consideration, Colin, I am not that talented, Tug Fan, you are about my age then (or younger).  Pete
