	Paddle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paddles commonly used in canoes consist of a wooden, fibreglass or metal rod (the shaft) with a handle on one end and a rigid sheet (the blade) on the other end.
		A paddle is distinguished from an oar in that the paddle is held in the user's hands and completely supported by the paddler, whereas an oar is primarily supported by the boat.
		On mechanical paddle steamers, the motorized paddling is not done with a mass of paddles or oars but by rotating one or a few paddle wheels (rather the inverse of a water mill)

	Paddle Steamer Marion, PS Marion, Mannum
		The Paddle Steamer Marion is unique, she is the only vessel of her type left in the world today, and she belongs to the community of Mannum, and in turn to the people of South Australia.
		One of the first paddle steamers to run cruises on the Murray River, the PS Marion is now the original wood-fired paddle steamer, with overnight accommodation, still operating.
		The superstructure has been restored to what it was in her heyday as a passenger steamer, with cabins, lounges, dining room, galley and bathrooms.

	Paddle Steamer Preservation Society
		The Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, a registered UK charity, is the beneficial owner of the Paddle Steamers Waverley and Kingswear Castle.
		The Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, a specialist group of dedicated preservationists and cruise lovers, never expected to be vessel operators.
		Not only were paddle ships and steam ships disappearing; they were, in many cases, not being replaced at all and the possibilities for the traditional pursuit of coastal cruising were dwindling.

	[No title]
		The Historical Database includes details of steamer operating companies in the major areas where paddle steamers sailed and numerous individual histories of vessels of the past and the present.
		Paddleboxes have often been highly decorative and Waverley's boxes are painted fl with gold lining to emphasise the fact that she is a paddle steamer.

	Golden City Paddle Steamer Museum
		The Golden City Paddle Steamer and Museum are housed in Gills Boat Shed, circa 1862 situated beside the Boatshed Restaurant on Lake Wendouree, Ballarat, Victoria.
		The Golden City Paddle Steamer restoration work has sadly come to an abrupt end as the Paddlesteamer was destroyed by fire on Friday March 3, 2006.
		The Golden City Paddle Steamer, designed by Mr George Brooks, built by Mr Thomas Gill and launched in 1885 is now the only survivor of a proud fleet of steamers that cruised and worked the lake for a hundred years from the 1860's until the 1960's.

	#200 Paddle Steamer Uri (1901) - Landmarks
		A new engine design for inland steamers, known as the diagonal compound engine, was introduced during the late nineteenth century, and the Uri is powered by the oldest surviving example.
		On the Uri and similar boats, both paddle wheels were mounted solidly to the engine crankshaft so they always turned in the same direction and at the same speed.
		The newest of these paddle steamers, Stadt Luzern, is powered by an unusual, diagonally mounted, three-cylinder Uniflow engine, but the other three feature diagonal compound engines very similar to the landmark engine on the Uri, an indication of the important place these engines still enjoy in European lake and river service.

	Paddle Steamer Forum - A Bravenet.com Forum
		I think the small "paddle steamer" on Lake Maggiore is a dummy, and was never really a paddle steamer.
		She was a yacht club at Colico for many years, but a few years ago was moved to another small lake a couple of miles north of Lake Como, whose name escapes me at the moment.
		She has been restored to paddle steamer appearance, minus the wheels.

	Steamboat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paddle steamers usually carry the prefix "PS" and Steamships powered by the steam turbine may be prefixed "TS" (Turbine Ship).
		A number of other steamers were built around the turn of the century, in part due to the growing fish industry and the gold rush.
		The paddle steamer Waverley, built in 1947, is the last survivor of these fleets, and the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world.

	Paddle Steamer Picture Gallery
		My father introduced me to the nostalgia of the British excursion steamers that for so long operated around our coasts and without the interest given to me by my father, and to him by his father Henry J B Lee, this site would not exist.

		Paddle Steamer Picture Gallery shows images of some recent and some long gone ships that will hold memories for many of those of us over a certain age.

	Auntie P's Decay - Ryde Queen Paddle Steamer slideshow on Flickr
		Commissioned by the Southern Railway Company, and constructed at the yards of William Denny and Bros. of Dumbarton in 1937, the PS Ryde (together with the PS Sandown) were the first Southern Railway Paddle Steamers to be fitted with triple expansion diagonal reciprocating steam engines.
		Both paddle boxes have since suffered considerable damage, and her future is looking increasingly bleak.
		The name plate on the paddle housing seems to have been removed before this happened (a friend took some photos of the steamer a few weeks before the stack keeled over and it wasn't there then).
