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This is the original museum that has now been replaced by the new Windermere Jetty Museum.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.
