An early 20th century pond yacht 'Firefly' with full sails mounted on a display stand, circa 1930.
Edwardian pond yachts were miniature, intricately crafted model sailboats that gained popularity during the early 20th century. These yachts were typically sailed in calm, sheltered ponds or lakes, with enthusiasts racing them as a leisurely pursuit. Built from wood and sometimes decorated with fine details, Edwardian pond yachts often mimicked the designs of full-sized yachts. The period saw a rise in competitive sailing, with model yachts being a symbol of craftsmanship, skill, and a passion for maritime activities.
