Yes, I don't have the size in front of me at the moment. I will measure it and post it.
You are making me homesick! My late husband and I built a riverboat very similar to yours…..except it was life size! Took us two years to build it and we lived on it for 5 years. We named ours "Orion", the sailor's compass constellation…thanks for posting

Awesome. MasonDixion, thanks for the name.
She's 4.5in in length and 2in high to the stacks.
I was stationed at NWS Earle on the USS Butte. The USS Detroit was there, she was the neversail.USS Neversaill
I posted a new photo.
