The link below gives access to a series of short videos taken by drone, at the Steam Boat Association's Windermere Week. I don't think the driver's photography skills are a patch on 4WD's but the subject matter has a certain charm.

The boats vary from 1 to 110 years old, and the engines cover the same range, although some new boats have very old engines, and vice versa. The occasional puffs of steam visible are when the boat's whistles are sounded: there was one boat present which "puffed" like a steam locomotive, but I don't think she's been video'd anywhere, and all the rest have condensers, so no steam from the funnel.
