Some of the most beautiful boats to be seen on the Thames are the slipper launches. The woodwork is varnished to a mirror finish. Look at the steering wheel reflected in the side of this one, Romani, at Maidenhead.
I suppose they get their name from the way they look like items of comfortable footwear.
