Steam-Driven Steam Boats


Here's a wonderful thing that came to town recently as part of a steam fair: steam-driven swing boats - a thrill of years long gone but still working. Between the two boats sits a mighty steam engine, putting out great gouts of smoke.


One of the boats at full swing, showing the union jack flag on its underneatrh.

The whole ensemble is beautifully painted and maintained. To the rear of the steam engine is a small pipe organ complete with a mechanical conductor.


A painted detail - all very patriotic.
