Miss England I was the first of a series of speedboats used by Henry Segrave and Kaye Don to contest world water speed records in the 1920s and 1930s.

Miss England was built for Henry Segrave in 1928, in an attempt to retrieve the Harmsworth Trophy from the American Gar Wood.

Gar Wood's series of "Miss America" boats were using multiple high-powered aero-engines to establish an apparently unbeatable record.

Segrave had already used multiple aero-engines in his land-speed record setting Sunbeam, but Miss England used a single Napier Lion engine and relied on an advanced planing hull design.

Wood made many sportsmanlike contributions to his competitor, particularly sharing his experience of propeller and rudder design – he wanted a close race with a worthy opponent.
