The Nautilus was owned by Fred Horace Edwin Chester (1880-1980) of New Brighton. It was lent by him to the hospital ship Marama for use as a hospital motor-boat. It was with the Marama for about 2 1/2years, during which time it was on the Nile, at Gallipoli, and at Ceylon. The headquarters of the New Brighton Power Boat Club are pictured in the background.
