Miss England III, last of a series of speedboats used by Henry Segrave and Kaye Don to contest world water speed records in the 1920s and 1930s. The picture appeared on the cover of The Modern Boy magazine in April 1932 to accompany an article inside written by Kaye Don who declared he would break the land speed record. He did so on 18 July 1932, when he set a new world water speed record of 119.81 mph (104.11 kn; 192.82 km/h) on Loch Lomond. The record stood until August, falling to a new four-engined Miss America X at 124.91 mph (108.54 kn; 201.02 km/h). Don declined any further records, and Miss England III went to a museum.
