Waverley's FIRST EVER visit to Ullapool

#waverley #ship #boat #ullapool
History was made in the small Highland town of Ullapool when the world's only sea going, passenger carrying Paddle Steamer "Waverley" berthed for the very first time.
Built in the 1940s for use on the river Clyde she has been fully restored and now operating passenger excursions around the uk. This was a short 40 minute visit before departure for other ports in the area but a crowd of visitors and locals flocked to the quayside to see her and mark the historic moment. 22/05/24

Great video man, and great to see the Waverley with a good crowd aboard her. Long may she reign 🚢

Thanks mate, was so nice to see her

Beautiful. You don't need to say any more, just beautiful!

[@TheJamster2006]

Thanks, was definitely a nice sight

Spectacular video mate! ❤Been a very long time since I last sailed on her down the clyde, miss the nostalgia that comes with being on board the old girl! 😍

I have travelled on Waverley many times and have a very soft spot for this wonderful little ship. We have a very special connection too….as Waverley and I were both ‘launched’ on the same day on October 2nd 1946! My last trip on her was from Bournemouth and around the Isle of Wight but the weather was too tough for her to return to Bournemouth Pier and we had to endure a crowded coach trip back home instead! She’s a friendly little ship and the crews are very good to the passengers …long may she paddle! Rob in Bournemouth.

Followed by an absolutely horrendous voyage to Gareloch. Should not have been allowed to sail in the conditions in the Minch

[@TheJamster2006]

Oh really? I'm sorry to hear that. I read online that the schedule had been amended due to the weather

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Fresh N'ly winds made it rough and had to amend next days sail.
