I noticed a walking beam sidewheeler.

If details of the engine had been visible, maybe that would
have been interesting.

She's the steamer that burned and sank in the East River killing over
1000.

As it is, I want to find out who designed the "Acushla" and
whether the plans still exist.

Planning on the next carbon fiber project?

Yes, I'm familiar with the story. Pretty horrible.

Nope, I'm about to lose my work shop. But I would like to
have the plans to study & admire. If I wanted a boat like
that, the Dark Harbor 17 is close enough.
