Steamers, launches and ferries Passenger & bicycle ferry cross Lake Windermere from Bowness to Far Sawrey The Crosslakes Experience Bring your Bike bring your boots or just come along for the ride There are also two summer only passenger ferries that cross the lake. One crosses from Lakeside station to Fell Foot Park at the southern end of the lake, whilst the other links Bowness with Far Sawrey.[ The MV Swan on Windermere The Tern on Windermere 1993 Passenger services serve the length of the lake, from Lakeside railway station, on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite heritage steam railway at the southern end of the lake, to Waterhead Bay near Ambleside in the north. Intermediate stops are made at Bowness and, by smaller launches only, at Brockholes. Some boats only operate part of the route, or operate out and back cruises, whilst others run the whole distance. Bowness-on-Windermere landing-station in 1961 These services date back to the former Furness Railway, who built the Lakeside branch, and were at one time operated by British Rail, the former state-owned rail operator. Since , three of the old railway boats are operated by Windermere Lake Cruises Ltd, along with a fleet of smaller and more modern launches. Three of the original four boats survive: the MV Tern of 1891, the MV Teal of 1936, and the MV Swan of 1938.[7] The fourth, MV Swift of 1900, was broken up at Lakeside in 1998.[8][9] Her rudder and only one propeller are displayed at Bowness.[10] Although often described as steamers, all are now diesel motor vessels. Tern and Swift were built with steam engines, but converted to diesel in the 1950s
