Can you help ?

  At present I do not have a copy of any timetable showing details of the sailings by paddle steamers on any of the Jura lakes, which ceased operation in the 1960s

If you can supply details, I would be delighted to display them on this site and of course acknowledge the fact
That way you would be helping to publicise the aim of keeping PS Neuchâtel in active service !
