Southern Belle 1:64

Product detailed description

The Southern Belle was a steamboat that served on the Mississippi River in the United States in the 19th century. The Southern Belle was a typical steamboat that operated regular shipping lines and carried cargo and passengers on the river.
In the pre-Civil War era, steamboats like the Southern Belle were common on U.S. rivers and lakes and played a key role in inland transportation. These steamers were equipped with wheels on the sides, or could be designed to be powered by a single large steam wheel at the stern of the ship. This configuration was typical of some steamers, especially on rivers where the water was shallow and local conditions may have required specific ship designs. During the golden age of steamboats, many of these ships were built and used to transport people and goods.
