Taking a trip on the Cumbrian lakes has been a distinctive and popular feature of holidays in the region for generations. But the story of water transport in the life of the Lakes goes back to the earliest settlers. For many years these waterways played a key role as one of the areas main transport lifelines, linking Lakeshore communities and supporting the development of local industries. The arrival of the railway ushered in an era of mass tourism, despite resistance from the Lake Poets, and Coniston Water, Derwentwater, Ullswater and Windermere witnessed the development of a broad range of regular steamer services. It is still possible to enjoy a trip on an original authentic pleasure steamer, several of which would be recognised by our Victorian forefathers. this book tells the rich and varied story from the Roman occupation to the present day, supported by a comprehensive selection of photographs and maps, and a full listing of all passenger vessels known to have operated on the Lakes.

The ultimate children's classic - long summer days filled with adventure. John, Susan, Titty and Roger sail their boat, Swallow, to a deserted island for a summer camping trip. Exploring and playing sailors is an adventure in itself but the island holds more excitement in store. Two fierce Amazon pirates, Nancy and Peggy, challenge them to war and a summer of battles and alliances ensues. 'My childhood simply would not have been the same without this book. It created a whole world to explore, one that lasted long in the imagination after the final page had been read' - Marcus Sedgwick
