Waverley Leaves Dry Dock
A little after 10am and Waverley is afloat once more. Notice that the deck shelter has now been painted in brown sans the scumbled finish.
Flooding complete. The gangway has been lifted clear and the dock gates opened.
Waverley eases out of the dock and in to care of her old friends, Clyde Marine tugs Battlerand Biter.
Clear of the dock.
Edward Waverley is wearing his blue coat for a second successive season.
An opportunity to take a close look as Waverley passes the dock wall. Changes in perspective between each picture has resulted in Waverley gaining an third funnel!
The tugs expertly manoeuvre Waverley out in to the channel.
Arriving at Custom House Quay.
Concentration on the Bridge.
Battler leads Waverley in to her berth.
Battler gives Waverley a gentle nudge to bring her alongside the quay wall.
All done. Waverley will spend the next few days at Custom House Quay to allow work to be completed and for sea trials and compass swinging. She will return to Pacific Quay later in the week.
