Comparison - Yarrow & Co. Shipbuilder Advertisement 1895
Compare this Yarrow’s advertisement of 1895 in the Brazilian press with their Chinese language advertisement of 1902 06 04.
It would be interesting to compare the two copies content to see any changes were made for the Chinese market. The two gunboats mentioned in the text had been built by Yarrows in 1890.

Shallow draft paddle steamers
Hong Kong did have a similar stern-wheel paddle steamer sailing its waters as late as 1986.
Although only 48 inches in length it was a realistic working model. Rotating paddles, functioning replica steam engines and steam sound system, smoke generator in the funnel of the replica wood burning steam boiler.
