This video takes me back to a kid when when my dad used to take me on the waverly every time she visited wales. Penarth to western super mare. I was fascinated with the engine room. Love this old lady x
@@GuyIntermediate Hi. She's laid up at the moment , needs a new boiler and the work is estimated to cost about $4.000.000, which is quite a lot for a volunteer run trust, so you have still plenty of time to dream
The Steam valve controlling the engine is labeled THROTTLE, 8 past the E means they have the valve open 8 clicks beyond the the last letter "E" on the control, Basically letting her run full bore wide open
56 rpm. Scotty was giving it all she's got!
by god, just fall asleep to such a wonderful thrum, absolutely beautiful engine

Every now and then the TH-cam search terms of "PS Waverly 8 past the E" pop out of my fingers
Brilliant view never ceases to amaze when ever I've sailed on her. She packs a punch here amazing sounds thud !!!
Wonderful video, I remember gazing at this engine in fascination when I was little, I'm pleased to say I still do !! :-)

Oh man what a sight. I'd love to see and hear that in person.
she sails for 6 months of the year around Scotland , and also a little time on the south coast of England and the river thames, its a great day out
@@jimdevlin2138 it's not very likely that I'd make it across the pond to see it. But a man can wish about it.

@@GuyIntermediate There's plenty of fascinating videos of the Waverley paddle steamer on you tube my friend. Thanks for your lovely comments.
@@jimdevlin2138 just sent it no problem lol
Yup. That’s the sound that inspired the “industrial soundtrack” in the zero-decimal nodes in fiction.
Mighty, magnificent, mesmerising!
Went on this ship in the early 2000’s to Whistable. Proper engineering.
Great video. Very enjoyable.
Yes looks like 56 rpm which was her trials achievement in 1947… amazing.(but costly :))
She breaths👌
Battle! Speed!
Pride of the Clyde - built to last!
Lorraine Hamilton To right Lorraine.Brilliant Scottish/British Engineering.
Technically pride of the Kevin. ;)
It was 2001 when I first traveled on the Waverley
Very good view, what camera did you use? I find photos in the Waverley engine room are really difficult.
THAT'S AMAZING!!
@ethanboi122 sssshhhh, nobody needs to know.
@ethanboi122 chill out dude, I'm kidding
Question. Does this ship only have a single engine driving both paddles or 1 engine per paddle?
This is the only engine driving both paddles.

What does 8 past the E mean?
The Steam valve controlling the engine is labeled THROTTLE, 8 past the E means they have the valve open 8 clicks beyond the the last letter "E" on the control, Basically letting her run full bore wide open
E bullet hook
wondering why 3 pistons make 16 beats mechanical sound.
The quick knocking sound comes from the Paddle Wheels
Probably because they were built in Glasgow.
Dunno, but it's f'in beautiful.
because its a triple expansion engine
Could be noise from say the air pump adding the extra beats?
The hammers of hell

You could make a rap career out of rapping to steam engine beats.
built when Scotland produced the finest engineers in the world, Now we would probably outsource it to China or s. Korea
