                  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.

                          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. 😄

                              Looks like the photos were taken on the Britannia Terrace causeway just outside Porthmadog.

                                  Ironclads were steam-propelled warships protected by armor plates. The rapid pace of change in the ironclad period meant that many ships were obsolete as soon as they were complete.

                                            Nice find, urgen:
                                            A similar vehicle was built back in the 1960's for use in oil exploration in marshland. It had a large rectangular deck and long pontoon screws. I remember the demonstration film shot with an elevated camera, showing how it could easily move left, right, circles, etc.

                                            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
