<br />
The M.Y. LADY OF THE LAKE was ordered by the Ullswater Steam Navigation Company, a predecessor of the current Ullswater Transit and Navigation Company, to a design by Douglas Henson of Penrith.<br />
<br />
She was built by T.B. Seath & Co. at Rutherglen near Glasgow, transported in three sections by rail to Penrith, and thence by horse drays to Waterside near Pooley Bridge.<br />
<br />
She was assembled on the slipway at Waterside and launched on 26 June 1877.<br />
<br />
In 1881 the Lady of the Lake sank at her moorings but was re-floated by a team of divers. In 1936 she was converted from steam to diesel power.<br />
<br />
The vessel sank again in 1950 in a severe storm, but was again re-floated. In 1965 the vessel was badly damaged by fire and was out of service for 14 years, before being restored and reengined.<br />
<br />
She was re-launched on 19 May 1979 by William Whitelaw MP.<br />
<br />
Ullswater 'Steamers' provides pleasure ‘steamer’ sailings on Ullswater in the north-eastern part of the English Lake District. It is based in Glenridding, Cumbria. Founded in 1855, it currently operates five diesel powered vessels between four locations on the lake. The oldest vessel in its fleet was launched in 1877.<br />
The company was founded as the Ullswater Steam Navigation Company in 1855, and originally moved mail, workers and goods between the Greenside Mine at Glenridding and the village of Pooley Bridge at the opposite end of the lake.<br />
<br />
On 13 August 1859, the company's first purpose-built vessel, the paddle steamer ENTERPRISE, was launched, although it subsequently sank in the lake. In 1877, the company introduced the steam powered pleasure steamer MY LADY Of THE LAKE, and this was joined in 1889 by the MY RAVEN. Both are still in service.<br />
<br />
In 1900 the company was renamed as the Ullswater Navigation and Transit Company. In the 1930s, the company converted its fleet of two steam powered pleasure cruisers, the MY LADY OF THE LAKE and the MY RAVEN, to operate on diesel engines. In 1954 Sir Wavell Wakefield bought a controlling shareholding in Ullswater 'Steamers' to prevent the company from being wound up. The company is still in the ownership of the family of Lord Wakefield, as Sir Wavell subsequently became.<br />
<br />
In 2001, the company started to operate sailings during the winter; it had previously only operated during the summer season. Between the years of 2001 and 2010, three additional vessels were acquired by the company, these being the LADY DOROTHY, LADY WAKEFIELD and WESTERN BELLE. All three were acquired from previous salt-water service and conveyed to the lake by road. In 2015 a new jetty was opened by the company at Aira Force.</p>

The M.Y. RAVEN was launched on July 11, 1889 by TB Seath and Company of Rutherglen, having been commissioned in response to the growing popularity of Ullswater as a tourist destination.<br />
<br />
She was named after Ravencragg, the lakeside home of company director William Hugh Parkin.<br />
<br />
In 1912, Raven was made a temporary royal yacht when the German Emperor Wilhelm II visited Ullswater during his stay with the 5th Earl of Lonsdale. Her decks were painted yellow, the Earl's personal colour, for the occasion.<br />
<br />
In 1934, Raven was converted from steam and fitted with twin diesel engines. She is the largest vessel in the fleet, and is a member of the National Historic Fleet.<br />

<p>Battling against the elements in Brim Fell. What little snow there was was being whipped up by the wind, the effect of which was like what I would imagine it to be like being sandblasted.</p>

<p>Opposite St. Patrick's church is the old vicarage which holds the Tinklar Library many of the books in Latin. A local saying was, "They drove the plough in Latin in Brampton." At one time, this and neighbouring village Brampton, had a good variety of commercial businesses. Today rather quiet with an expanding trade in holiday homes. The Crown and Mitre kept a good pint and had a reasonable quiz team - not been in for a while.</p>

<p>Walked past the Blencathra Centre round the corner of Blease Fell and was surprised with this wonderful East face of Lonscale Fell.</p>
