Quite interesting.
Hm, do you consider Hunter wheels as possibility? Of course, they were generally ineffective, but I think, it may be partially compensated by using paddles, mounted on hinges, which would place them parallel to water flow on the return path.

Possibly, but the idea here was that these guys are pretty early in their use of steam power for maritime propulsion.

Nice concept like the white ropes to control the sails.

I'm guessing we'll see a junkjammer as well, with an iron or steel hull and junk-style rigging.

Nice design! Is this a timeline where China -wasn't- the whipping boy of various European and other powers?

I wouldn't put the funnel there the sparks from the fire might set the sails alight
