The Western Belle
We had a bit more company when this little steamer arrived at the pier. It’s the Western Belle, built in Great Yarmouth in 1935. She spent most of her working life on the Rivers Dart and Tamar, hence the name. Purchased from Chris Cruises in 2007 where she worked on the River Thames until completely refurbished by Ullswater ‘Steamers’ in November 2010. She was re-launched onto her new home on Ullswater in July 2011
