From what I had read, the Windermere Steamboat Museum closed at the end of October.
Owen is right - the WSM would be closed for the winter now anyway, but although you used to be able to visit off-season at certain times, I am also informed that the Museum is now completely closed. The WSM website does not state this. However some info as to the conservation financing can be found at:
Steamboats restoration funding
BTW - Owen - what vessel were you aboard? I know there is one that has a fancy brass tap at deck level, to pipe up boiling water for tea. Only a British boat could have such a thing!
