I mentioned the Steam Yacht Cangarda in another thread...a month or so ago..about steam boats. The Cangarda ..@ 126 feet is NOW in Mystic Seaport...STILL operating with her original steam engine. One of three left in the world. I think she is in Mystic again for the winter. She was wintered there last winter..but I didn't then know her significance. We saw her again ...at the same time we saw "Nellie" almost two weeks ago.

Take a look at pictures of "Swallow'..a noted steam yacht on Winni. You will need one of the books for that. The Swallow looks smaller but a lot like the Cangarda. NB
