Beautiful! Thank You for sharing. Nothing like the torque of a triple for maneuvering capabilities.

That unmistakable Weir direct acting feed pump in the whining in the background.

Greatly missed since the last boiler refit!

[@Jetchisel]

I thought that was the sound of the air pump.

Fantastic British Engineering,when we built the World.

Along with the Germans - let's be fair.

Love the whale plushies attached to the engine hahaha

KINDA CUTE

[@softwerksaol]

Is this standard practice or a British rule that a log book is kept of all engine commands?

[@MrKinnoull]

It never was the case on Clyde Steamers until more recent times when several incidents with Waverley had the practice imposed by the MCA.

[@billalbion]

A look at the man changing the engine controls would have been interesting.

[@gordonreid7801]

Didn't see a double ring astern here, the bells ringing at the end were 'finished with engines'!.

[@bobcornford3637]

It wasn't coming in too quick at all. Paddlers have to keep the speed up as there is no water flow over the rudder at low speed. Reversing is very quick on Waverley so not a problem. Unlike a normal vessel, double rings are very common on Waverley, merely indicating that a response has to be very smartly carried out.
