Paddle Steamer Waverley 2004

[@brianneale2006]

I remember going on a day trip on a paddle steamer from Cardiff to Weston-super-mare on several occasions and going on a 4 hour cruise on a paddle steamer from Barry docks, along the South Wales coast and back with my father I had a badge with the Waverley paddle steamer on it of course it was a replica a nice badge it was too

... and me. The Scots honoured this wonderful vessel in song. She has plied the coast of her native Clyde, North of Ireland and the Severn Sea. It remains etched in the hearts of many

Nearly 20 years on from this, and Waverley has had another big overhaul! She still runs!

I have sailed on the Waverley Paddle steamer many years ago and Had a badge with the Waverley on it given to me by one of my Aunts father who worked in Swansea Docks many years a go he also took me on a walk through Swanea docks and showed me two German E-Boats captured by the British and tied up in Swansea docks.

Such paddle steamers are still in regular use in Bangladesh, mostly on riverine routes. Most are over a hundred years old.However, they are not really steamers as most have had their steam engines replaced with diesel marine engines.

The main aerial photo was taken in stormy weather on her way to the Isle of Mann. Impressive!

I loved being on board the Waverley as young fellow in the 1950s.

I Sailed on it to Rothesay and back few days ago. Fantastic! For me, who was diesel-ship engineer and son of steamer engineer, especially interesting. Thank you very much!
