PADDLE STEAMER WILLIAM THE FOURTH
William the Fourth was a 54-ton wooden paddle steamer built by Marshall & Lowe, Erringhi (now Clarence Town), New South Wales, Australia. She was the first ocean going steamship built in Australia when launched in 1831. She was rebuilt and lengthened in 1853. She plied the East Coast of New South Wales until 1863, when she sailed to China and was sold and operated on the Shanghai–Ningpo route. Records end in 1868 when she sailed to Japan.
This fine model of "William The Fourth" was cleaned and repaired in our workshop
