Speedboat
by D. W. Fostle

Steam, electricity, then gasoline...this history of speed over water shows each record breaker, either in the act, or on the drawing board. With only a few available copies remaining it is bound to become rare. Exquisitely printed and with duo-tones, primarily of large format photos from the Rosenfeld Collection at Mystic Seaport Museum, this book will be too costly to ever re-print.

The builder will possess a rare resource to replicate these boats; photos and lines of the fast steam and gas launches are shown here and nowhere else. This is such a rich chronicle of industrial/marine design that land-side architects, fashion designers, and automobile designers have added Speedboat to their reference libraries.
