Savage Brothers: Steam Yachts







Note: This is a sub-section of Savage Brothers
c.1893 Savages began building Steam Yachts, using William Cartwright of West Bromwich's improved patent of 1894 (Cartwright was the first to build a set using upright cylinders). Savage's first set was built for John Collins. The Yachts were often given the names of the latest liners: Lusitania and Mauretania, Cymric and Celtic, although Olympia and Titanic proved short lived names on John Collins’ set.
