Built in the 1950s, the hydroplane was piloted by Donald Campbell as he set seven world water speed records between 1955 and 1964. The craft represents not only a triumph in mechanical innovation but also the enduring legacy of the Campbell family’s pursuit of speed, a legacy that has since inspired generations of engineers and adventurers.
