    What happened to Swan and Tern then Steve??? Gather Swift has been scrapped.
    Brings back memories of happier days. Teal was my daughters favourite so when
    we were in Bowness we always had to wait for her to come in before we went
    onto the lake. May have to go through the photo albums!!!

    Hi Pete

    Looking at the Windermere Cruise site it looks like Swan is still being used, but nothing on Tern.

    Teal is quite amazing given her age and its amazing that she can carry so many passengers - of course I doubt whether she carries a full load these days.

    Some great old postcards of Teal @ http://www.simplonpc...mere_Teal2.html

    Tern @ http://www.simplonpc...ml#anchor249706

    Yes, a trip to the lakes was never complete without a boat trip in my day ;D

    Regards

    Steve E.

    Have got a photo somewhere of Teal in the old British Rail livery.
    When we first went to Bowness on holiday in the early 80's they were
    still part of BR.
