Thanks for the hint
From 1850 to the early decades of the 20th century Windermere, in the English Lake District, was home to many elegant steam launches. They were used for private parties, watching the yacht races or, in one instance, commuting to work, via the rail connection to Barrow in Furness.From 1850 to the early decades of the 20th century Windermere, in the English Lake District, was home to many elegant steam launches.

i wonder if a museum or historical society is funded for education or private funding are they obligated to share their archives?
i know many are under staffed and can not do in depth research. many times i would contact a museum only to get this
let us know when you want to visit and we will make available information. ya right!
or hire a researcher again very expensive

if you google steam launches a lot of interesting subjects to model even to have a static 3d model of the steam engine and boiler to assemble.

would you post a driect link to what you foundIf you go to the "French Service Historique Plans" website and scroll past the German ships to paragraph labeled "French Service Historique Plans" and hit "Here" you will get a list of all late 19th century and early 20th century French warships. At the top are plans for different size oar/sail powered boats, near the bottom you'll find "Steam Launch", hit that and you will get drawings of a period steam launch along with details of the steam engine and the motor that drives the prop shaft. I am scratch building the Bouvet and am using these drawings to make my own drawings to have 3D printed boats made.
