Windermere And The Steamer Tern

mid-20th century

Looking north up tree-lined Windermere, from onboard a boat at a point opposite Bowness Pier, at MV Tern on a journey south from Ambleside as she starts her turn in to Bowness Bay to approach the pier. Tree foliage indicates summer and the sun is shining on the vessel but clouds over the Lakeland hills in the background suggest a potentially inclement day - possibly the reason why so few passengers sit in the open, many wearing hats and coats. A rowing boat may be seen a little further north and the sails of dinghies dot the northern end of the lake.
