It appears to be Teal In 1935 the LMS resolved to update and improve the Windermere fleet. A new motor vessel, Teal, was ordered from Vickers Armstrong, of Barrow-in-Furness, and launched at Lakeside on July 4th 1936. A small ship by Vickers standards, Teal displaced 250 tons and had room onboard for 877 passengers. She operated as a two-class ship with first and third class accommodation on three decks. Her moment of glory came in August 1956, when she carried Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh from Ambleside to Bowness. In 1990 the Queen kindly consented to re-sign the photograph displayed on the ship to commemorate her visit. Teal proved so popular that, the following year, the LMS commissioned a sister ship, the Swan, also constructed by Vickers Armstrong. This vessel made her maiden voyage on June 24th 1938 when she carried delegates to the 37th Annual Conference of the Municipal Tramways and Transport Association on a charter from Lakeside. |
