- Synopsis
- In this image of a paddle steamer the stern is in the bottom left corner of the page and the bow to the right of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Just up from the stern there is a flag flying which is stretched out straight to the left. To the right of this is a cabin with two portholes. Down from the cabin is the hull which is long and low and goes right across the page. It has five portholes on the stern half just above the waterline. The paddle wheel with its curved cover is in the middle and two more portholes at the bow end to the right. Up and to the right from here is the bowsprit which sticks out almost horizontally. Ropes lead from the bowsprit up and left to the main mast. This carries a furled mainsail. Left of this is a tall funnel and left again is the mizzen mast with a small furled mizzen sail. There is no rudder as the large paddle wheels could rotate in either direction and at different speeds, allowing the steamer to go forwards, backwards and to turn.
