Paddle Steamer , Thames Estuary

Spotted this paddle steamer ( I'm sure it is The Waverley) in the Estuary while driving home from the beach today. I made my husband stop the car so that I could get a quick shot.

I went on a very memorable school trip on the Waverley when I was 7 or 8. It was all very exciting having to get up early in the morning and getting a train to end of Southend Pier to board the steamer.
