Ridehalgh of Fell Foot, she carried 122 passengers in extreme comfort. Used as a charter vessel prior to the First World War she was laid up in 1915 and scrapped in 1919.’ https://www.windermere-lakecruises.co.uk/about-us/company-history A successor, MV Swift, has been built, was being fitted at the Lakeside jetty during summer 2020 and was due to be in service by late 2020. | |
