NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand's PS Waimarie is a remarkable survivor from the 19th century and is now beautifully restored for passenger service. One small paddler has been built recently - the privately-owner Tamati, using the 1902-built hull of a propellor boat of the same name.

CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS DATABASE ?

The webmaster would be delighted to receive any updates of relevant information and photographs (of which you own copyright) which could help to keep this database as up-to-date as possible and fill in gaps in the historical record.

I know that many of you will have photographs of paddle steamers on the internet on photo-sharing websites such as Picasa and Flickr. No photos are used on this website unless they were taken by the webmaster or someone who has given express permission for their own photos to be used. However, some photos from Flickr etc may be used so long a the copyright tag (Creative Commons etc) allocated to the photo at the time of downloading allows.

Tramscape is trying to develop this website as the main source on the internet for paddle steamer information and photos, so the webmaster would be very grateful if you would allow use of your photos in this database so they can be seen by the wider paddle steamer interest group who will be reading this website.

Please e-mail the Webmaster your information and photos or general authorisation to use photos from another website source. Thank you very much
