Until I receive my own model kit and can start building I felt like giving you a first peek about what has been on my computer screen for the last month.

By Google search I found many nice pictures of the model boat as well as some of the original. The problem when searching internet for pictures or videos of something is that you do not know where to look, so a strict narrow search will not give you any results and a wide search will give you plenty of unwanted links. I have gathered a list of links where I found pictures during my search and many hours of clicking next, next, next…

All pictures below are linked from other websites and provided as is. If you follow the links you will be taken to some nice photo gallerys.

These pictures are from a yacht forum where people who like the full size vessel can search for their yacht. Elburg Yachting was the yachtbroker who sold Jules Verne when the owner wanted a larger vessel.
