A harbor novelty, the Mystery, uses Brayton’s petroleum engine, a compact box in a 30 by 6 foot open boat, to provide immediate start, safety, and fuel efficiency while propelling the craft noiselessly. The Gondola, by Captain Tucker, relies on blasts of air from a bellows to push a scow through water, with plans for larger air powered ships and a buoyant spherical hull design.
