Look what's just docked!

Finally had the Steam Launch delivered that I bought in early April

Hannah Louise is the name and it's a scale boat originally electric powered then converted to steam.

The gentleman, now deceased, who built it has paid incredible attention to detailing it and making a scene of it rather than just a steam launch, I feel privileged to look after it for my time here.

Yes, it is very nicely built and detailed and you should enjoy that, both on water and as a display piece.

Hi Chris , thanks, it'll be a while before she steams up as the certificate runs out this month so I might leave it until next year before I retest and float my boat. Display? yes good idea , any suggestions as to broaching it with SWMBO as to replacing some of her beloved ornaments with a smelly dirty (her words) boat will be gratefully received, names and contact numbers required

Regards

Roger

Hi. Roger, change the name for starters, I’m sure you can think of a suitable one, other than that suggestion I am keeping out of any domestics.

Regards and good luck with that one

Hi Eddie, Hmmmm 'Lady Barbara' has a nice ring to it , not sure that will quite swing it though but nice try Eddie

I've got two boats in the dining room and two in the lounge at the moment whilst decorating upstairs. One of them has taken up home on the top of a bookcase in the lounge and has pretty much been accepted now so will probably stop there!

Hi Roger

Very nice looking boat, but change the name to the wife's name and you will be on a winner !!!!

Hi All.

Strangely wife's are not always impressed by their name being attached to an old steam boat !! How about the "Jolly Roger" and you will need one of those 3 pointed hats ??? 😊

Plenty of grog in those barrels 😲

As my wife is 70 today I have a very valid argument for using her name Ray, she's always huffing and puffing and letting off steam .

Jolly Roger would elicit too many comments that I would prefer not to hear, most of them from my wife.

Yes very imaginative deck clutter.

Perhaps a brace of pistols needed?

Not keen myself on double barrelled ladies names for boats.
