Default Power boats of the 1890s?

Hi -

Does anyone know a good resource on power racing boats of the 1890s?
Steam-powered boats and the like?

We have some photographs of some interesting vessels - such as
http://jsjohnston.org/~javelin.html - which we'd like to learn more
about... any thoughts on what "Javelin" was?

Also - does anyone know who held the powerboat speed records during
the late 1800s?

Thanks!

C.
