Suggested external link: President Virtual Tour

For the Friend of President I have created a virtual tour of the historic narrowboat, with outside views, showing the canal part of the Black Country Living Museum, with a steerer's view, and with inside views:

The cabin can be seen in day- and night configuration, and there's a lot to explore inside the engine room, moving the mouse cursor over an item of interest pops up information. There are also several sound events, from the engine over the injector to the whistle.

The link is https://www.haraldjoergens.com/panoramas/bclm-president/files/

It should be a worthwhile addition to the article, and could even be integrated into the article via an HTML iFrame.

Thanks Harald, these rotatable views are a great way to look around inside such a confined space.

I think it's probably best as an EL, rather than squeezed into an iframe. I'll add it shortly.

Would you consider uploading static images to Commons? Any sort of interior view would be welcome, as would a side-on that showed how much space the engine compartment took up, compared to cargo space. Commons requires a 'free licence', but of course you can size-limit the images if you're looking to protect a commercial investment. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:31, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
