"It all began on the Beaulieu River
in Hampshire in the summer of 1971. Fifteen boats from fourteen to sixty feet in
length attended a steam boat regatta, cruising in company the bends and reaches
of this delightful river. The smallest boat went much further, steaming across
the Solent to Cowes and back. During this regatta the Steam Boat Association was
formed.
The Association has grown considerably since the early days and we
now have a world-wide membership in excess of 1100, with 900 in the UK. We have
overseas members in USA, Australia, Germany, France and Sweden and many other
countries. . . . around the world, who own over 400 working steam boats."
