Steamboats
& Modern Steam Launches is the fundamental, technical, how-to
resource about steam
launches. The accompanying volume The Steam Launch is the illustrated
historical survey. From My
Old Boat Shop is the boatshop manual that reveals the naval architecture
of the old designs. The
steam, electric, or antique gas launch builder will want it.
The most
fascinating and esoteric marine publication of all time. Tens
of thousands of copies of this little magazine have been printed
over the past three decades--yet it is still a rare book! Coveted
and treasured, it is hunted in rare bookstores and has sold for
as high as $150.00. The original editor, Bill Durham, provides
a new 16-page overview for the steam launch builder, beginner
and veteran alike. This volume's tough reinforced cloth cover
with sewn binding is reminiscent of guilded 19th Century steam
handbooks.
