This tin boat runs on the steam produced by a small candle placed in the holder. It reminds me of those old movies you see where a kid in Central Park is playing with a beautiful wooden sailboat he bought at a dime store, and instead of thinking about whether George Peppard is about to get killed by a private dick over his illicit affair with the highly underrated Patricia Neal, you're thinking - ten cents? For that? That thing is awesome! Why don't they make those anymore?
