A real paddle wheeler. What a fine looking steamer, UK. It sure looks as if this is the real deal meaning, the paddle wheels are the sole means of propulsion. That boat moves right along. Very impressive. Thanks so much for your fine documentation of so many great vessels in and around Felixstowe. Top shelf sir. Cheers.

She is the only remaining sea going paddle steamer and only has a couple of visits to ipswich this year so thought I would get her 1st departure. Thank you for watching.

Very good close-up when it sailed from the dock, and on 3,13 Minute you can see how wide this ship is, and you see that speed, up to the next video 👍 (good video montage also)

Big thank you for watching and glad you like the vid 👍🙂

I went on this when it was visiting Eastbourne & we went to see the royal sovereign lighthouse. It was a joy to experience the his beautiful sea vessel

I did film her last year but as she was visiting ipswich this year I thought I would get her departure. Thank you for watching.

Excellent video. I believe the passengers had to travel on a special bus to take them from Ipswich Rail station into the port. I liked the view of Waverley with the large MSC ship in the background.

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

Thank you. I believe there were 4 or 5 coaches appear on the Quay side. Thought I would also go a few more miles to Shotley to film as she went past felixstowe.

@@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV Have you ever filmed any of the large container ships from Shotley?

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

@ThamesShips I'm sure I have but that was first visit to Shotley in 5yrs I think.

@@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV Tower Bridge stuck open for abut half an hour today and although they got it shut again, they decided not to open it again until they try and sort out the problem. As a result, the Waverley sailing today had to terminate at Gravesend instead of sailing up to Tower Pier. Not sure what will happen about tomorrow morning's sailing!

@@ThamesShips i bet the waverley passengers wernt very happy with that.
