Steam launch Edelweiss July 2020

[@rondenholm5499]

Great work. Why was it changed from petrol to steam? Surely that diminishes the authenticity but does introduce a whole lot more fun. Here are some facts on the Edelweiss. It was constructed in 1908 by James Hayes and Sons: 5 Little Weston St Balmain. James' sons were Charles and Francis. The Mercury (Hobart, Tas. Monday 5 March 1945) reported that negotiations were underway for the sale of 'motor launch Edelweiss'. Royal Australian Navy News Friday 24 October 1975 reported that Edelweiss was on show at Sydney Amateur Club with other steam vessels.
