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.
