The Waverley is the only remaining
seagoing paddle steamer in the world.
She was built on the Clyde in 1947 and
operated until 1974 by Caledonian
MacBrayne Ferries. The ferry company
gifted her to the Paddle Steamer
Preservation Society in 1974.

As the Waverley underwent a £4
million refit in 1999, she is expected
to stay in service for many years
yet.

2015 marked the 40th year that the ship has
sailed in preservation. Sold by Caledonian
MacBrayne for £1, Waverley has been operated by
a charity since 1975, and preserved as a
heritage asset for the benefit of the
communities around the UK, creating an economic
impact and connecting communities. Incredibly,
she has had a longer career in preservation
than she had as a commercial enterprise!
