Description

PS Waverley approaching the Pier

We had a wonderful evening cruise in the Bristol Channel onboard this fine old vessel.PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973. Bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, she has been restored to her 1947 appearance and now operates passenger excursions around the British coast.

Lovely job Mark. Marvelous way to travel. Similar vessel used to ply its trade across the Humber before the building of the bridge. Can't bring the name to mind right now...

Another strong and effective composition. I saw the Waverley in Scotland quite recently.
