Webmaster’s Note:

I found a link (provided below) to a steam launch named Elidir, which was built in 1976. Though similar, there are noticeable differences between the model and this vessel. Presumably, this is why the modeler chose to omit the name from the title of this web entry and list generically as a ca. 1900 steam launch, even though the name Elidir appears on the model.
