Dumas Creole Queen photo documentation package and plans for new sternwheel
Dumas Products of Tucson AZ produces a 1/48th scale model kit of the Creole Queen dinner
cruise boat that operates in New Orleans harbor. The kit represents the boat as newly built in
1984. Since then, the real Creole Queen has been equipped with a new paddlewheel, which differs
much from the original.
The package includes eight 4 x 6 color photos of the Creole Queen as she appeared in 1989-90 and
one sheet of plans for the new paddlewheel. The plans are to the same scale as the model, so the
new wheel can be built directly from them. The photos include two close-up shots of the new wheel
and one of the deck details on the head of the boat. The other five photos show the boat underway
from all angles.
