Steam Narrow Boat President - Engine room tour

This is a tour of the engine room of historic narrow boat President. Built in 1909 she is the only surviving member of the class still in steam. She is operated by Friends of President of which I have been a member for 25 years.

Wonderful ! What a smooth silent motion!

No the boiler is just for the engine, although it does obviously heat up the boiler room!

Great

[@MrStationHouse]

Probably around 25 BHP I would have thought

[@Bazilius23]

What about the heating system? Can this engine be used for heating?

[@barnabyhills4078]

very nice , would really love one but sadly there aren't very many steam powered boats and there aren't many canels in Cornwall

[@trevortrevortsr2]

Wonder what HP that engine is?
