Waverley Day Oot on the Watter.
Embarked at the Glasgow Science Centre - up past Dumbarton & Greenock with views of Helensburgh opposite - round to Kilcreggan - over to Dunoon - then Blairmore - before taking a wee trip to see some views on Loch Long, Loch Goil, & up to Lochgoilhead - then returned right back the way we'd come.

What a brilliant trip. It’s a long time since we’ve been on the Waverley. An amazing ship. Watching the engines is hypnotic!

I love this old ship.

What a trimendous ship is the P S Waverly, lasting all these years - may she keep paddling on for many years to come.

Tower Pier, London, to Southend Pier and back, circa 1981, great summer weather, with a clutch of Ruddle's party-fours... We all had a great day.
And what a beautiful ship she is, long may she keep paddling.
