The International Steam Pages


Stoom in Dordt (May 23rd - 24th, 2014)
Steam on the Water

Yuehong and I visited Stoom in Dordt in 2018 and as part of that report there is a rather incomplete page on the steam boats present.

Phil Barnes attended the 2014 event and has filled in some of the gaps and provided an alternative view of some of the boats.
