Turbinia

Turbinia was the first steam turbine powered steamship. Built as an experimental vessel in 1894, and easily the fastest ship in the world at that time.
For some reason it always pulled to the right, can't think why, maybe it was its special shape for importing banana's ;-)

Taken on our recent PBase meet in Newcastle, England.
