Our Aims and Goals

The Shamrock Trust was set up to preserve a boat that is a unique survivor of the Belle Epoch on England’s largest lake – Windermere.

In order to preserve, conserve and use Shamrock, as she was originally designed and intended, a formal Mission Statement was incorporated in the Shamrock Trust Memorandum of Association.

For daily use it can be summarized like this:

 

Aims and Goals of the Shamrock Trust

 

We aim to share Shamrock with both residents and visitors to Windermere by the following :-

1. Keeping Shamrock in good and safe order, while preserving her original design and construction.

2. Steaming her as often as appropriate to her status as part of the National Historic Fleet.

3. Maintaining her presence on Windermere, in steam.

4. Promoting experience of this typical Edwardian craft and comparison with later developments in pleasure cruising.

5. Making an archive collection about Shamrock and her sisters, from all media, available to share.

6. To give all visitors access to the best information in a variety of formats and media.

7. Passing on all the practical skills needed to operate and maintain a steamer like Shamrock to the next generation of enthusiasts.
