PS Waverley
It has been announced that the iconic Waverley will be sailing on the Clyde next year (2020) followed by. tour if coastal sailings, south cost, Bristol Channel and the Thames amongst many others.
The appeal to raise £2.5 for repairs and boiler replacement was successful.
The boilers are being currently manufactured by Cochran's of Annan an will be completed by the end of February. They will then be transported to the Clyde for installation.
So we should see the old girl plying her trade next summer.
