Steamboat ID?

[mojjax]

Any one recognize this boat or maybe the location ? I'm thinking British because of the "crown" logo on the side , I can't quite make out the name . Is that a fort in the background? Or a castle ? I think I see a train too ? Thanks for any info !

The name on the wheel cover looks like EOMASSIA, or E. O. MASSIA, Also no American flag or anyother that i've seen before. The fortifacation appears to me as a foriegn land, there is a flag on the boat and one way up at the top of the buildings, try and identify those, you might get lucky. I'm going to take a shot at location, since my Wife is Belgian, I'd say Belguim.

Anything on the back of the picture that might suggest its origin?

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

This library image is captioned “Paddle steamer Overstolz traveling upstream in Koblenz [a German city on the Rhine and Moselle rivers]”:

The Overstolz was built by L. Smit & Zoon in Kinderdijk, the Netherlands for Preußisch-Rheinische Dampfschiffahrt-Gesellschaft (PRDG) of Cologne, Germany and launched on 2nd April 1890. It's clearly the same location and the same design of ship but the funnel livery is different. I would still think it’s from L.Smit & Zoon’s yards, but they built a number of ships to that design for their own use and for various Dutch and German customers:
