This is 'Gondola' an original steam powered launch which was recovered from the water some years ago where after it fell into disuse it had been sunk intentionally to preserve it it.

Gondola now cruises around the lake on a regular daily basis carrying passenges from Coniston to Brantwood http://www.brantwood.org.uk the former home of John Ruskin and around Coniston Water (Coniston is not called a lake).

Brantwood house can be seen in the background.
