15.01.2022 Continuing with the theme of paying homage to other similar maritime heritage efforts around the globe here is the link to a vessel very similar to Cartela in size. Virginia V ("V" as for roman numeral 5) is a beautiful operational steamer in Washington State on the west coast of the US. Virginia V Don't forget to llke this page if you are interested in maritime history so you can be the first to hear of our updates. https://www.virginiav.org/
08.01.2022 The Medway Queen is a restored paddle steamer, highly worth a visit if you are in that neck of the woods. If not, I highly recommend you visit it here. http://www.medwayqueen.co.uk/ The Medway Queen Preservation Society
06.01.2022 Most of the Tasmanian River Steamers were powered by compound or two cylinder engines. One other River Steamer apart from Cartela, that had the more efficient triple expansion engine, was Sorrento also known as Rowitta. Her engine is now located at the Tasmanian Transport Museum. Its worth a visit to see how this pinnacle of 20th century engineering works. Steam isn't dead, its just resting. https://tasmaniantransportmuseum.com.au/exh/other-exhibits/ Tasmanian Transport Museum
