Thanks Sakrison, I may try that too. For the boys school project we ended up going with blue and white water colors mixed with a healthy mix of white glue, with glue soaked cotton balls for spray under the paddle wheels. The white glue worked well enough but as it sits it dulls, so a gloss coating is in order.
I love ship models and in particular I love the waterline style in 1:250 scale. These always call for some sort of water setting though, so I will be doing a lot of experimenting. I also want to do muddier darker waters for smaller inland rivers for some of my other American Civil War ships.
