The PS Waverley is the last sea going passenger paddle steamer in the world. She was built in 1947 and operates in the Firth of Clyde. Here she is just leaving Largs.

What a beauty... any chance of some interior shots at some point? Especially the plant?

Sorry tirediron, I've never actually been on this ship, we were just there getting another ferry to the Isle of Cumbrae when she docked but if I ever take a wee trip "Doon the watter" I'll see if I can grab a few shots.

honestly it's an ok pict... a bit static. you put the boat in the center but the waves show its direction... not saying that it would be easy to do something here but , just wrote you what I thought

I was lucky enough to have a trip on her last year. So here are a few for you to give a eel for her.:

Thanks mmaria. It is a bit central I guess so I'll try a different crop tonight though there isn't much room to play with.

Great stuff in all ways, nautically, historically and photographically.
