Instruction Manual
The Steam Towboat
Taurus
By Erik A. R. Ronnberg Jr., 1978
Instruction Manual Update By Ben Lankford, 1995
The Model Shipways kit is based on the tugs Betsy Ross of Philadelphia, 1903, and
the Sommers N. Smith of Boston,1887. Photos No. 2847 and 2156A, respectively, are in
the collection of the Steamship Historical Society, now in the library of the University
of Baltimore.
During the original development of the kit, Mr. Ronnberg was assisted by Mr. Willie
Dunne, Mr. Alan Frazer, and the librarians at the Historical Society. Their assistance is
greatly appreciated.
This new instruction manual expands on the original instructions prepared by Mr.
Ronnberg. The manual takes you through a step-by-step procedure for building a fine
ship model. Beginners and advanced modelers alike should find this a very reward-
ing project.
