PS Waverley by Alistair Deayton
In 1947, one of the last paddle steamers built in the UK entered service on the Clyde. She was the PS Waverley, now famous as the world's last sea-going paddler. She is now a frequent site around the British coast, taking many thousands of pleasure seekers on day trips from many British ports and harbours. From the Clyde to the Thames, from the Bristol Channel to the South Coast, Waverley is a magnificent sight. Totally rebuilt early this century, she is destined for another sixty years of service. Alistair Deyton and Iain Quinn take us on a nostalgic trip through sixty years of Waverley history.
Iain Quinn lives in Glasgow and has written numerous books on Clyde and the ships that once sailed the river and the Firth. He has utilised his own collections to illustrate the two centuries of Clyde shipping since the Comet first steamed from Glasgow.Alistair Deayton is a well known author and an acknowledged expert on West Coast steamers. He has written numerous books on the subject including the hugely important Directory of Clyde Paddle Steamers. He lives in Glasgow.
