Alas work on the project has ceased due to finding a complete steamboat for sale from a retiring sailor who had to give up his boat for health reasons, so I've jumped ahead massively on my quest for a steam boat for an unbelievable price that no one would pass up. Joan of oak has now gone and Bumble...
