The toy steam boat was invented in 1891 by an English gentleman. Early in the 1900's toy companies in
the U.S. and worldwide began making steam-powered tin boats based on his design. This Titanic
Steamship is a new design.
Demonstrate the physics of steam with this steamship.
Universities across America are using these in their physics labs to demonstrate mechanics of steam power. A
favorite toy of kids in the 1920s and '30s, the PuttPutt Steamboat is actual driven by steam power, using a small
flame. It will chug along for hours on only a few drops of olive oil!
