I was a 18 year old barman on this ship for one summer. Great laugh. Fantastic times.

I love a boat trip, when I was a kid my Dad offen took me onto the boat to Ilframcombe, The Bristol Queen And the Cardiff Queen where the two boat used under the White Funnel Flag, Brilliant time which I shall never forget. I went on the Waverly a couple of years ago smashing just smashing

I was on board at the time - it was a great trip despite - or perhaps because of - the weather. At penarth we transferred to the Balmoral for a cruise around the Holm islands, but had to return to Swansea by bus from Penarth as the weather had deteriorated further.

I guess he had to come in fast because the wind would be blowing the ship away from the quay
