paddle steamers at Pipiriki on the N.Z. Rhine, 1900s
According to this the Wanganui River (now spelled Whanganui) was the N.Z. Rhine. If you're thinking "yeah, right" so are we, but it was and still is a worthwhile scenic trip.
This this good article with nice images of paddle-steamer. I like all of images.
We have a fleet of century old paddle steamers in Bangladesh which are still in operation. They were built in the colonial period and still serving as a passenger boat. An overnight journey on those boats is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can check it here if you are interested: Paddle steamers in Bangladesh
