Re: PS Waverley update.
Going on annual holiday we sailed on the PS Waverley in 1948, 1949 and 1950, although our first choice of steamer was always the TS Queen Mary II which is currently being restored as a museum in Glasgow.
Does anyone else on site remember going to sea on board the Waverley seventy two years ago.?.
Regards from
Fouro.

Re: PS Waverley update.
No I never sailed on Waverly that long ago Fouro, but it sure is beginning to feel like it
,
I remember seeing the Queen Mary II when she was at London, moored at the Victoria Embankment close to Cleopatra's Needle, cheers

Re: PS Waverley update.
Fouro, remember the heyday of the Clyde Steamer, Talisman, Jeanne Dean's, Waverley, Queen Mary.
Remember the scramble at Gourock Pier, with the steamers lined up ready to sail.
Great days.
Vic
