Supporting the preservation and operation of paddle steamers Waverley and Kingswear Castle
Waverley returned to her home berth at Pacific Quay in Glasgow.
Waverley moves under her own power for the first time since her boiler refit.
The iconic look of Waverley is restored with the refitting of the forward funnel.
Work has started again on completing Kingswear Castle’s refit.
One down, one to go. The aft funnel is refitted as work to complete Waverley’s boiler refit accelerates.
45 years ago this weekend Waverley was in the midst of her first weekend in operation under Waverley Steam Navigation.
Paddle steamer enthusiasts may be interested in reading about and supporting the ongoing restoration of PS Curlip II in Australia.
It is not just Waverley that is receiving some off-season TLC, the Waverley Excursions website has received a fresh new look.
Earlier this week a funnelless Waverley entered dry dock at Greenock.
Progress towards Waverley’s return to service has visibly taken a major step forward with the removal of both her funnels.
The PSPS Scottish Branch has made a £2,000 contribution towards the cost of refurbishing Maid of the Loch’s forward dining saloon.
On Tuesday 14th January Waverley was towed from her berth in Glasgow downriver to Dales Marine Services shipyard in Greenock in preparation for her £2.3 million boiler refit.
