An 1830's iron hull and a steam engine - it can only be Sean Neill's wonderful Laplander - a converted BCN Ice Boat.
Here is a sequence of three pictures showing Laplander approaching Stafford Boat Club with full GIG 'crew'!:
The view from the steering position. You can't see the smuts, but you just know they're there!
Sean inspecting the funnel emissions - a characteristic pose!
Richard Lucas looking bereft at being left behind, standing on the 'patio' (Spey).
And off they go...
...the soon-to-be-very-wet Ken Floyd positioned precariously in the engine-room hatch :-)
Off into the distance with no hint of the fun to come around the bend...
