One entry, and it is a boat.
She was built at Lytham in Lancashire in 1912 and named Livingstone, worked the Ruki River for decades, and was pulled into film history in 1951 when John Huston put Bogart and Hepburn aboard her. After that came forty years of neglect, several owners, and a long spell sitting behind a Key Largo hotel getting worse.
She now steams again, carrying six passengers at a time, with a fire somebody feeds in front of you. She is the only entry in the register that moves under her own power, which seemed worth a category of its own even at a count of one.
