This site has a number of great fact and figs on the Nile gunboat flotilla, the men who served in them, and the wars in which they served - enjoy!
Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk with ramblings about Aeronefs, Dirigibles, Land Ironclads, Anarchists, Dinosaur Hunting, Terranefs, Aquanefs, Mad Scientists, and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make sense, but there will be claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "VĂ´tre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"

The Paper Shipwright (Google him) does a cardstock model of the Melik for about £5.00 - I have one but haven't built it yet but it looks top. IIRC some of the money he makes from it goes towards the fund to renovate the real Melik, currently a riverside wreck in Khartoum.
Now THATS what I call a real tourist attraction. And lets face it, Khartoum neeeds as many as it can get...
