For those of you interested in models you can find a 1/96ths scale ( Model size 26 1/2" long, 4 1/4" beam) model plans to construct it here: modelplans.steamboats.org/pricelist.html for $26. Also you can find info and a much larger RC model (1/32nd) of her at: steamboats.com/museum/lossingmodels.html. She is the 4th steamer down the page and info on her is added below that detailing her service in the summer campaign of 1876 right below the photos of her. Further information on her and its Captain, Grant Marsh, as well as other boats of her kind can be found here: www.johnlegry.com/mod_riverboat.htm Really fascinating info, photo's and models. Enjoy

Thanks tbw for the info.! Just make sure you make it out of genuine Teak wood, if you do it'll be worth twice its value before you turn 70ish - guaranteed.
