Birkett Hill

Windermere Steamboat Museum 1994 This is the original museum that has now been replaced by the new Windermere Jetty Museum. I have yet to visit this new museum but I understand many of the vessels are now shown out of the water to better conserve them and as of mid-2021 several were shown with their engines removed. 

The two boats seen on the left are Otto (left) of 1896 and Water Viper (right) of 1907.

Windermere Steamboat Museum 1994 - Steam Launch Otto This is the original museum with the vessels afloat in a large covered wet dock. The new Windermere Jetty Museum has several of the vessels displayed on dry land to aid their preservation.

Otto was built as a fast launch by Forrestt & sons Ltd. in 1896. It is 45' 6" long overall and of riveted steel construction. The engine is an inverted vertical triple expansion by W Sisson & Co. Ltd. works No. 500 of 1896. The cylinders are 6.25", 8.25" & 10.75" x 7" and it is rated at 100 indicated horsepower. The boiler is a locomotive type built in 1958 by Abbott & Co. of Newark and is pressed to 200 psi.

Windermere Steamboat Museum 1994 - Lady Elizabeth and Kittiwake Lady Elizabeth is on the left and is an open launch built by Monarch Co. in the USA. It was found by George Pattinson in a derelict state in the 1950s and was restored with the current steam plant fitted. It is a mere 18' long overall. The engine is an inverted vertical single cylinder Stuart Turner 5A design. This is a favourite of model engineers and the slide valve cylinder is 2.25" x 2". The boiler is a Kitchen and Perkins patent water-tube design built in 1910 by the Lune Valley Engineering Co. , Lancaster. 

On the right is Kittiwake - a cabin/saloon launch built in 1898 by T W Hayton at Bowness. It is 40' long overall. It has a locomotive type boiler and an inverted vertical triple expansion steam engine.

Windermere Steamboat Museum 1994 - engine on board Dolly Steam Launch Dolly - the oldest mechanically propelled vessel in the world. However, it is currently (2021) not in operable condition. This vessel is thought to have been built c1850 and is a cabin/saloon launch with an overall length of 41'. It spent a considerable part of its life in a sunken condition and was salvaged in 1962, being returned to steam in 1965.

This shows her inverted vertical single cylinder engine with a 7" x 7" slide valve cylinder and Stephenson link reversing gear.

Windermere Jetty Museum - engine from cargo barge Raven In the entrance foyer is this large (about 7' tall) inverted vertical single cylinder engine from the former cargo barge Raven. The engine was built in 1871 by A Campbell & Co. of Glasgow. The slide valve cylinder is 8" x 12" and there is Stephenson link reversing gear. It gave the vessel a speed of 10 mph. Raven is now on dry land outside the museum. It was built in 1871 by T B Seath & Co. at Rutherglen and is 71' long overall with a displacement of 82,000 lbs.
