The Lady of the Lake belonged to a competitor, James Greenfield. ... During the navigation season, steerage fares even dropped to two pence [tuppence] and were then all over the place ; up to two shillings and sixpence ; down to one shilling and three pence ; down to seven-half pence [ -/-/7½ ] ; down to two pence ; up to seven-half pence
