An etched window pane from the "Viscountess Bury", an electric launch built in 1888 and used on the Thames until 1994.
Viscountess Bury was built by a team comprising of Martiz Immisch, Viscount Bury, Magnus Volk, William Sargeant and Anthony Redienzaum. It is named after Sophia, wife of Viscount Bury and daughter of the Honourable Sir Allan McNab, Priminister of Canada.
The electric launch ‘Viscountess Bury’ was built in 1888 in a period when electric boats were becoming popular on Britain's waterways. They were sleek and efficient, able to carry substantial loads for relatively little energy. The Viscountess Bury was 65ft in length and began Thames day trips with up to 80 passengers, allowing people to enjoy a quiet alternative to muscle power and sail. It was used on the Thames until 1994.
