Maiden voyage for the 'Penine Queen'

Members of the Town Council and their families were aboard the £3,000 boat which was launched at Hollingworth Lake. It has been painted white and blue and has a mahogany interior. The boat was bought to serve alongside the popular Lady Alice. A thirty minute sail around the Lake in the newly launched boat will cost one shilling for adults and sixpence for children. 2nd April 1958 Rochdale Observer, Page 1
