PENELOPE II was built by Borwicks of Bowness for a local family. They used the boat mainly to follow the Royal Windermere Yacht Club races. With a straight bow and cruiser stern, PENELOPE II looks like a traditional Windermere steam launch but has always run on a motor engine.

The launch was built between the two World Wars, in the style of a tradition launch but with the convenience of a modern motor engine. This was more easily maintained than the steam powered boiler. The conservation team at Windermere Jetty Museum began work on PENELOPE II in October 2017 with the aim of using her to take visitors out for trips on the lake.

Our conservation team of qualified Conservation Boat Builders began work on M.V Penelope II in October 2017 and have completed a 3 year-long conservation project to restore it to be a working heritage vessel that reflects, as much as is possible, original materials and processes that would have been used when it was originally built in 1930.

M.V Penelope II will begin service from 12 April while S.L Osprey moves to the Conservation Workshop for essential maintenance. Both vessels are expected on the water together in July. Find out more and book a heritage boat trip here.

During early human pregnancy, extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells from the placenta invade the uterine decidual spiral arterioles and mediate the remodelling of these vessels such that a low pressure, high blood flow can be supplied to the placenta. This is essential to facilitate normal growth and development of the foetus. Defects in remodelling can manifest as the serious pregnancy complication pre-eclampsia. During the period of vessel remodelling three key pregnancy-associated hormones, human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), progesterone (P(4)) and oestradiol (E(2)), are found in high concentrations at the maternal-foetal interface. Potentially these hormones may control EVT movement and thus act as regulators of vessel remodelling. This review will discuss what is known about how these hormones affect EVT proliferation, migration and invasion during vascular remodelling and the potential relationship between hCG, P(4), E(2) and the development of pre-eclampsia.

The Searcher is a private sea vessel belonging to Penelope Widmore. The ship found the Oceanic Six, as well as Desmond Hume and Frank Lapidus, in the South Pacific Ocean on December 31, 2004, reuniting lovers Penelope and Desmond after years of separation.

After the rescue, the ship sailed some 3000 miles to the island of Membata, where the Oceanic Six floated ashore as part of their cover story. The crew consisted of some Portuguese speaking men, including Henrik. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")

A group of former Argentine Navy crew members of the auxiliary ketch Penelope during the 1982 South Atlantic war were able to visit their old ship as it stopped over in Buenos Aires en route from the Falkland Islands to Germany after 70 years in South Atlantic waters.

Twenty four years after they last saw the vessel they had sailed in during the South Atlantic war a group of middle aged men turned up at the North Basin dock to see the vessel they thought they would never see again. The four, one officer and three NCOs all sailed the Penelope during the conflict carrying out duties re-supplying outlying bases, transporting fuel, laying mines and carry out search and rescue duties around the coastal waters. Headed by former skipper, now retired Argentine Navy Captain Horacio Gonzalez Llanos, three NCOs of the original crew that sailed on the Penelope during the conflict, were clearly moved at seeing their old ship once again. Another crew member, former 1982 conscript and later journalist Roberto Herrscher - who is now a college professor teaching in Barcelona - was represented on the occasion by his sister. Penelope along with three other Falkland Island vessels - the 144 GRT motor cargo ship Forest, the merchant cargo vessel Monsunen and the supply vessel Yehuin - were requisitioned by the Argentine Navy for the duration of the conflict and operated in the combat zone until the end of the conflict. The role of these four unarmed vessels has since the end of the war been acknowledged as the "little boat navy" that remained in the war zone throughout the conflict. Despite the fact that most the Argentine Navy withdrew to port after the sinking of the cruiser ARA General Belgrano ships like the Penelope carried on ferrying supplies and personnel up to the end of the conflict. Of the Argentine vessels that remained in island waters throughout the conflict three merchant vessels, the Rio Carcaraa, the Isla de los Estados and Baha Buen Suceso and two patrol vessels ARA Alferez Sobral and Rio Iguazu were lost after coming under attack from British forces. As the former Penelope crew members observed their former vessel interchanging comments with the crew currently sailing the German built vessel back to Germany, changes were noted including a newly painted white hull, modifications to the deck house, new navigation and communication equipment and a new wheel as well as a repaired foremast. Gonzalez Llanos recalled how the crew had scrambled to safety after being staffed by Harriers while sitting at anchor. The wooden hull Penelope, originally the Feuerland, was built at the Busum shipyard in Germany in 1927 by German adventurer Gunther Pluschow sailed it to Patagonia and later the Falkland Islands. It was recently purchased and is en route back to Germany where it will be refurbished and used for tourism in European waters. Nicholas Tozer (Mercopress) Buenos Aires

The only vessels that traveled that fast in the Mediterranean, apart from Italian speedboat cowboys, were the coast guard. Sure enough, the Hellenic Coast Guard roared into the bay and, slowing only a little, executed a tight U-turn around my boat. Their wake rocked Adagio violently. Annoyed, I nevertheless waved with what I hoped might be taken as a friendly but not overly familiar gesture. With no acknowledgment, and seemingly assured that there were no illegal migrants or unsanctioned toga parties aboard my Italian-flagged vessel, they sped off into the horizon. Paradise, or the illusion thereof, is invariably a fleeting phenomenon.

With no agenda or itinerary other than to get Adagio out of the water and fly home to Southern California in early November, I returned to my coffee and pondered the day. Avoid expectations, be open to what shows up, and let the day unfold, I reminded myself. The thought of calling my office or clients in the States did not even occur to me.

Conventional-cruising narratives had always told me that to genuinely experience a cruising lifestyle in locations such as the Mediterranean, I needed to fully drop out from my domesticated land life. This would include abandoning my business and the work I enjoyed, my friends, skiing, my home, and my physical-fitness routine. For me, however, this posed what I initially saw as an insoluble conundrum: Did I really want to be that liberated?

I discovered that I thrived in solitude with total self-reliance, and I loved the ability to get away from it all, if only for two to three weeks at a time. Moving around the sea, I would berth my vessel in a secure marina for several weeks, and fly home to resume my work and land life in Ventura.

I bought the three-year-old Adagio in spring 2016 just outside Genoa, Italy, and began the first of four seasons, each one around five months, in the Mediterranean. My initial goal was to cruise the entire Med in two years. I subsequently modified that to a more realistic four years.

One of the pluses of cruising the Med is that it rarely required me as a solo cruiser to do any overnight sailing. And I was almost always within cellular range. Now, with devices such as Starlink and videoconferencing, conducting business afloat in the Mediterranean is no more difficult than doing it remotely in the US, aside from the time difference.

Like any cruising area, the Mediterranean does have its drawbacks and risks. There are some definite no-go areas, such as most of North Africa and the Middle East. And there is the ongoing illegal migrant crisis.
