I love that Hélica, Eric. It looks like the love-child of a swamp boat and Citroen 2CV.

Not sure if this qualifies as Retro but these images are pretty cool.

Have you ever wanted to walk across the bottom of the River, Lake or Ocean to see all the ships that have sunk? Well....
The Aral Sea was once the world's fourth-largest saline body of water. It has been steadily shrinking since the 1960s, after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet Union irrigation projects. And now it's almost gone leaving a desert full of old shipwrecks.
And it had already been starved of nearly 30yrs of water by 1989.

Those old trains are cool.
Some of my favorites are the high Art Deco steam locomotives.

The Phantom Corsair is a six-passenger coupé prototype automobile built in 1938. Designer Rust Heinz planned to put the car into limited production. However, Heinz’s death in a car accident in July 1939 ended those plans, leaving the prototype Corsair as the only one ever built.

Oooooo! supercool.
Is it a boat? Is it a plane? Is it a train? No...it's a Scienenzeppelin (rail zeppelin)
For the first couple of seconds of this clip, you'd swear you were looking at a modern high-speed train.

Talking about streamlined railway vehicles...
It's called Spooner's Boat.
-
That "Spooner's Boat" was very eco-friendly... but because it had limited seating and it couldn't 'tack', then the, 'The train for Holyhead is canceled because the prevailing winds from the West...' quickly made it unpopular with potential passengers...
-
The original train on that line was also very eco friendly. Gravity was the propulsion toward Porthmadog and horses were used in the opposite direction. The horses got to ride on the train going down.
