Rare Edwardian boat-building photos from Salter Bros Ltd (part 1)
Below are the first of a collection of rare photos of boats built by Salter Bros Ltd around the beginning of the twentieth century (c. 1900-1910). Some of them were slides used for promotional purposes. They include some of the earliest motorboats and steel-hulled craft built by the firm, as well as some craft built in the inter-war period, i.e. after the Edwardian period.

Thank you for your extensive research on Salter’s of Oxford. May I ask, during that period of sifting the archives, did you come across any of the early design drawings for craft built by Salter’s. Engineering/technical drawings, draftsman drawings and such like. I am also interested to find out who, within the family, was responsible for designing the first of the Salter’s boats.
