Description:

Up for your consideration is my beautiful little steam launch Princess Anne. A fully functional steam launch built in the United States ( California ) by master a shipwright at the ABC shipyard on the Napa River. She is in excellent condition (some cosmetics required), and has seen very little use since her launching in 1985, comes fully equipped for cruising right down to the life jackets and oil lamps, and has special fresh water tanks for operational use in salt or brackish water. She is powered by a five h.p. Semple engine and boiler, and can cruise at a comfortable 6 knots. Also included is a full set of engineering drawings of the Semple engine and boiler, obtained from the engine builder in Missouri. Princess Anne was my retirement hobby, but do to unforeseen health issues forced me to put her up for sale, so a new owner can become her Captain and Keeper .

Greetings! One of my dreams has to always been to own a sort of steam vessel and I came across this! Cruise ships of today are big ugly blocks on the ocean compared to the stunning ocean liners of the day! I would love to hear more about the Princess Anne

Thank you!
