Teal of 1936
Windermere Services
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Lake Windermere vessel
Teal (2)
of 1936. Her sister was the
Swan (2)
, and both remain in service.
Ownership of Windermere steamers passed to the LMS in 1923, and they built two large motorships,
Swan (2)
and
Teal (2)
, in 1936. They passed to British Railways in 1948, later becoming Sealink. Sealink was privatised in 1984, being taken over by Sea Containers.
Teal (2)
remains in service, with what are now known as Windermere Lake Cruises.
Accommodation on the sisters has been upgraded over the years, initially with an enclosed bridge, followed by a lightweight top deck canopy. The main deck saloons were then extended to the full width of the hull. Finally, more permanent upper deck canopies were installed.
My thanks to Anthony Langford for allowing his cards to be used on this page.
