History
Bought by present owner's father in 1953 to replace boat lost in the 1952 Lynmouth flood, BALEANA was originally built to ferry passengers ashore from visiting paddle steamers on excursions from Wales and Bristol. She carried on in this role operating with Waverley and Balmoral until 2003. May 2013 GH
