Windermere Jetty’s collection is unique. It is one of the world’s most important collections of boats related to a single location. Originally brought together by George Pattinson, a private collector of steam launches who founded Windermere Steamboat Museum in 1977, the collection now comprises 40 vessels that tell the story of boating on Windermere from 1780 to the present day. When we open, over half of our collection will be on display.
