Visitor to Poole

On my way home from work drove to Boscombe Pier and spotted a Paddle Steamer making its way into Poole Harbour A bit of research discover it was the Waverley

Built on the Clyde in 1947 - to replace the original Waverley that sunk off Dunkirk in 1940, the Waverley was originally built to sail only between Craigendorran & Arrochar in West Scotland. It is amazing to think that she now sails right round Britain offering regular trips on the Clyde, the Thames, South Coast of England and the Bristol Channel with other calls at various ports & piers throughout the UK.
