COMMENTS: Steam launches were the personal watercraft of our Great Grandfathers
day. Going for a ride around the lake in a steam powered launch
was one of the most relaxing things you could do. The scale model
kit was created with permission from the Elliott Bay Steam Launch
Company in Portland Oregon. See manual for additional information
about the real boat.
This model will run for 30 minutes each time on Sterno fuel (not-
carried). Perfect for ponds and pools.
