PS Waverley Exits Dry Dock


Our beloved paddle steamer PS Waverley came out from dry dock today.

She was taken to Custom House Quay ably towed by the tugs Biter and Battler.

On arrival she was berthed and a tanker was standing by to load fuel.

She was looking excellent after her TLC and looking forward to the start of her season.
