Hi - this video is of my wood burning steam launch "Albatross" (the traditional maritime symbol of bad luck). She is equipped with an eccentric driven feed pump on the engine and a hand pump for emergencies. She has to be fired about 6 or 7 minutes. The feed tank holds almost a gallon and will go for 30 or 40 minutes.
Alas, her all steel boiler has failed (as I knew it would) and I am working on a copper replacement. She she's drydocked for now.

So when are you making the full sized one?

@pyrocoyote1 why not just run a condenser with a pump connected to the engine to refill the boiler for longer run times
how do you add more water to the boiler when out on the water?

@LNERRedneck you dont . you have to sail it back to shore for a quick fill up. i guess you could put a little pump with a hose to suck it out but sense this is in salt water its not so good for the boiler.
