Big wheel keep on turning.
This week is steam week. We were delighted to be onboard Waverley two years ago. However, for her almost annual visit, this year we opted for the maritime equivalent of railway 'linesiding'. The main photo shows the port paddle turning whilst docking today at Weymouth.
For those not familiar with the vessel, she is the world's last seagoing paddle steamer. Nearly 80 years old, 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of carrying passengers in her preservation era. A real "national treasure".
