	Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive. Force them to pluralise words by putting apostrophes in, then everyone will mock them as imbeciles!

When we walked by there was an engine running with a wet exhaust, but whether that was a water cooled genny, I don't know. Was very pleased to discover it remains steam driven. Rog

Only "very pleased"? You should be chuffed.....
I've seen a video of it travelling on the Weaver through a shallow bit, battling through silt.

Looking at the NHS webshite the boat may have a steam driven lighting plant. It seems very probable that there will be an oil burner of some sort in there as well - possibly even a modern quiet diesel generator - to take care of modern electric power requirements like toilets etc.
