Peter, maybe you were referring to my posting of a couple of weeks ago about the houseboat/Esperance. I must admit I was disappointed when I finally saw what I had assumed was the model for the houseboat. My opinion that she was the model was formed by some of the staff at the Steamboat Museum. Then again, the main cabin was provided with all the goodies mentioned for the feast in SA - even the Black Spot and Captain Flint's pipe. Then, when I saw the illustration in WH I knew it couldn't be the same.
