Thanks guys.
Jim I do do not know about the sails. The ship appered to have a 6 degree canter to the masts. So I am guessing that the ship sailed in one direction only but you never know. These schooner rigged side wheelers could sail on wind alone but from what I gather they were slow and hard to maneuver. The steam was primary,with sail as supplementary. But i guess if you are low on coal, a little wind is better then nothing!
