Snipe steam-powered model speedboat (Hobbies-Bowman) |
 |
| location: |
A steam-powered model speedboat, "The Snipe", made by Bowman Models, Dereham, Norfolk.
A 23-inch-long cream-coloured propeller-driven boat, blue below the waterline, with metal superstructure covering the steam engine.
The boat's leaflet says
- "A fast and thouroughly sound racing boat of graceful proportions and first-class finish. Runs for a mile on filling, or roughly 30 minutes, and is practically unaffected by a moderate breeze"
The boat could be supplied ready-built or in kit form, both for the same price of 22/6 (plus postage).
