History
Built by Crossfield at Arnside about 1911.This yacht was operated by one of the many Morecombe pleasure boat companies providing tourist excursions on the Bay. It was based at the Princess landing stage near the Winter Gardens until the early 1920's. A condition survey was carried out by Liverpool maritime conservators. At present the vessel is stored outside Lancaster Museum and has a cover fitted to it, but it is in poor condition. There have been two phases of conservation work in the late 1980's and early-mid 1990's. June 2008
