Wow. Very nice indeed. Looks like you took inspiration from the paddlewheel excursion steamers that used to work around the U.S. Eastern Seaboard back around the turn-of-the-century.

Incidentally, believe it or not, there actually once were two steam, paddlewheel aircraft carriers, the USS Wolverine and the USS Sable. Both were converted from Great Lakes passenger steamers and were used during World War II for training new air crews. Look them up on Wikipedia for the full story.
