The paddle steamer Waverley is one of the real treasures of the maritime world. The last surviving seagoing and passenger-carrying paddle steamer, she continues to this day to take day trippers on joyrides around our coast, her paddles churning up the sea as she goes. Built on the Clyde in 1946 she spent almost thirty years taking passengers up to Loch Long before being bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, a maritime heritage group with its own proud and important history. To find out more about the ship, her preservation and her summer cruises, Dr Sam Willis travelled up to Glasgow to sail from her contemporary berth in the city centre, yards from where she was built, to the west coast resort of Largs.
