There was a time when boats of wooden hulls and brass and iron steam engines plied the waters of Spreckels Lake in Golden Gate Park. On Saturday, June 15, The San Francisco Model Yacht Club members will display and demonstrate their models powered by live miniature steam engines on the lake. The best time for viewing these fine examples of craftsmanship is between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
