The article mentions that Calliope's wheel was given to Samoa. According to this site, it now resides in the National Maritime Museum, New Zealand. The claim appears to be authentic (and shows a picture of a single wheel, whereas a contemporaneous photograph shows a doubled wheel) but the website likely would not meet the requirements of a reliable source, and the Museum's website is scanty on the contents of its collections. If anyone can confirm this with a reliable source it would be appreciated; a PD-photograph from a Wikipedian in Auckland would also be useful. Kablammo ( talk) 13:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
