The
paddle and pleasure steamer services from the Lancashire coast were
short lived. They served some of the most spectacular areas of the
UK with cruises operating to the Isle of Man, Lake District and
North Wales as well as the thriving Victorian pleasure resorts of
Blackpool, Southport and Llandudno. Cruises to and from these resorts
provided 'Wakes Week' passengers with the thrill of a sea trip in
often lively seas to visit places far removed from their year-long
working lives in the mills of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
