PS Waverley
The paddle steamer's new boilers have been installed.
Both funnels have been refitted this week.
All that is now required is the works to be completed.
There is now some doubt whether she will sail this summer season due to restrictions

Re: PS Waverley
Hi Vic,
When I was a lad, living in Walton-on-the-Naze, I am sure it was the 'Waverley' that picked up passengers from the end of the pier to take them on a cruise to the mouth of the Thames, I always wanted to go on it, so majestic.
Cheers, Paul.

She doesn't normally come to Southend until late September Vic so things may change by then, Balmoral has been absent
as well, I've missed my trips up the Thames for two seasons now so fingers crossed I'll be back on deck with the sun shining
anda pint in my hand , if anyone is interested there is a very nice model of PS Waverley on eBay. cheers
