Slomoshun
World Famous Hydroplanes
& the people who created them.

The Slomoshun Archive
We have been collecting all the artifacts,
photos, letters, billings, news clippings catalogs, race programs etc. that have been stored at JMC since 1926 and have begun to put them all together in one room.

Needless to say that amounts to a LOT of stuff. As I get the opportunity I will get more items posted.

Slo-mo V -
28 day-drop dead-Calendar

This calendar has hung in the same place in the Jensens Boatyard for almost 50 years. This is a calendar that Anchor put up to remind his staff and crew that they
had 28 days to finish Slo-mo V or they wouldn't make the Gold cup race.This calendar is the symbol of the turmoil that surrounded the creation of V and the conflict between Anchor and Ted & Stan.
And is a constant reminder of what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it.
