The "Tour Ship",
is modeled after M.S.Diana.
She's a tour ship designed to operate in a canal, and fit in the locks on that canal in Sweden.

She will serve a similar function on the Kennequogue River, and out on Great Island Sound.
Yes, I did take the liberties of a few "changes", but her length, breadth, and height above the waterline are to scale.
The model was ( actually is still being.. I have a "ton" of brass rod to cut and solder into handrails ) built on a Revell "The Firefighter" kit hull, shortened, and cut off at the waterline.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
