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.
