<p>I would happily TAKE them, pay shipping to my locale, store them properly and digest them personally however long it took. I knew several model steam types back in the day and while my tubs were powered by machinery that didn't belch water and various oils in the hull, I always appreciated they went through. </p>
<p>That isn't to say I'm necessarily the best one to make use of the material therein but I'd certainly preserve them and try to make them available to those who could. </p>
<p>As for full size steamers of that nature...the closest I've gotten to that was riding around Lake Windermere in a Victorian putt-putt launch with my wife and a bottle of decent champers on our fourth anniversary long ago. </p>
