It hosts an on-line register, events calendar and a massive collection of information and pictures all concentrated on Steam Boats.
The Shamrock TrustThe Shamrock Trust web site is all about the Steamboat Shamrock. It details the history behind the boat, how it was built over 100 years ago on Windermere where it still sails today, and was lovingly restored by Roger Mallinson in the late 70's. The Shamrock Trust was formed after extensive damage was caused in floods. The damage has since been repaired and the boat is as beautiful as ever.
