KINGSWEAR CASTLE Paddle Steamer (1924)

[@YARROWS9]

What I love about these old steamers is that they were so beautifully built. All the machinery is British made and the machines that built the machinery are British made. We can't boast that anymore. Sadly.

I saw this one from Waverley when it visited; they really put on a show with billowing smoke and the wheels really thrashing round in the water! Very impressive.

Thats really pretty cool. Would be fun to take a ride on it. Nice to see something that antique still operating.

This ship has now moved to Devon and works on the River Dart Estuary. You can join a trip from Dartmouth.

Lovely little boat! A good time to see it is the 'Paddle Steamer Parade' this is in October when Waverley visits the Medway and the two boats travel down the Medway together. Medway Queen is really flat out on these occasions, and the black smoke from its funnel was awesome.

I've got one of those engine room telegraphs - identical to this. I guess I now know what kind of ship it's off.

[@clydeferries]

This is what I call driving blind and to trust the bridge via the telegraph. Par Excellence!

what a magnificent vessel beautifully preserved and great engineering!from a gracious age gone by wish there were more of them unlike this dreadful modern stuff now they produce!

[@SteffenReichel]

I don't know why he's movng the engine only with the throttle and not with the linkage first....

Jessica Gurney sometimes on ebay, or a Nautical antique dealer, ( an antique dealer specializing in reselling Nautical antique artifacts)

[@coloradostrong]

Family Dollar, Walmart or Five and Up. Maybe a WAWA.
