Dedicated to steam yacht

Not a yacht, but an old "watering vessel" serving in the port of Vigo, now a passengers day-boat, presently located in the south of Spain but hopefully coming back to Galicia soon. Three expansions engine from 1906, delivering 177 hp.

Beautiful ship thanks you. I hope she will come very soon to your area.

Those circa 1900 boats have great style. The arts were great back then.

 

She is impressively young Guillermo! Built 1966.

I had a similar water supply boat from 1927, with a triple expansion of 180 hpi and single, coal fired boiler. Riveted steel, 200 tonnes.
We did not bring her back on the water due to lack of funds. She was broken up, but I saved the engine.

Steam Yacht SCHAARHORN, built 1908

Steam Yacht Gleam

An other one.

 

That era held a lot of artistic value.

 

labor was cheap and the rich, rich

 

today, work is "cheap", the rich are richer and the training poorer.....

 

I saw this beautiful lady in an ad in one of the yachting magazines around here. My recollection is that she is a restored survey vessel.

Also one of the Thea Foss for good measure.
