What a brilliant creation. Maybe Playmobil will take the hint now and give us a Paddle Steamer.

When I was in the Navy I sailed down the Mississippi and it certainly is muddy.

Not too sure about the Lone Ranger but it certainly looks like Muff Potter and Injun Joe upto no good in the Cannoe.

Beautiful customization!! I like very much the paddlewheel ships, with some Southern aristocracy aboard to give them style.

Hello, Pyrrhus ...

We cannot less than firmly agree with Richard that the Mississippian paddlewheel should be done by Playmobil!! (I asked Playmobil for a paddlewheel and an USS Monitor).

Well, but as the immoral bellicist I am, I surely will transform it in a confederate battleship, hehe, with some cannons aboard. Or at least, a Confederate troop transport.

Where there paddlewheels in times of the Civil war???

Hello, Pyrrhus ...

Yes, there were paddlewheelers in operation during the Civil War!

Here is a photo taken during the Civil War of a "side wheeler" ...
