PS Waverley on the Sunday excursion trip, Rothesay Bay, Isle of Bute.
Named after Sir Walter Scott’s first novel, Paddle Steamer PS Waverley was built on the Clyde in 1947 – to replace the original Waverley that sunk off Dunkirk during active war service in 1940.
Since 2003 Waverley has been listed in the National Historic Fleet by National Historic Ships UK as "a vessel of pre-eminent national importance". She appeared in the 2011 film 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows'. She is claimed to be "the most photographed ship in the world."
Waverley has had several colour schemes in her life. Early photographs show paddle boxes painted sometimes white and sometimes black. The gold stripe along the hull is in some photos and not others. Today Waverley has the LNER 1947 livery of red, white and black funnels, traditional brown-grained (or "scumbled") superstructure and black paddle-wheel boxes, decorated with gold lettering on each side.
Waverley was originally intended to sail only between Craigendoran & Arrochar in West Scotland. She now sails right round Britain offering regular trips on the Clyde, the Thames, South Coast of England and the Bristol Channel with calls at Liverpool & Llandudno.
Waverley is the world’s last sea-going paddle steamer. In 1975, at the end of her working life, she was famously bought for £1 by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society. Waverley Steam Navigation Co. Ltd, a charity registered in Scotland, was set up.
Tonnage:693 grt;
Length:239 ft 11 in (73.13 m);
Beam: 57 ft 3 in (17.45 m);
Draught:6 ft 3 in (1.91 m).
Installed power:2,100 ihp (1,566kW)
Waverley is powered by a three-crank diagonal triple-expansion marine steam engine built by Rankin & Blackmore, Engineers, Eagle Foundry, Greenock, Scotland. It is rated at 2,100 IHP and achieved a trial speed of 18.37 knots (34.02 km/h; 21.14 mph) at 57.8 rpm. Passengers can watch these engines from passageways on either side of the engine room.
The main crank is solidly attached to both paddle wheels so they cannot turn independently of each other. The Waverley therefore has a much larger turning circle than modern ferries.

James Chapman-Taylor (1878 - 1958), architect, is recorded to have written "Permanance, serenity, quiet cheerfulness, unassuming good taste, honesty of purpose. I believe these are qualities that should be embodied in the design and structure of all good houses."
He built many homes in Wellington, Hawkes Bay, and Auckland which faithfully pursued the English Arts and Crafts tradition. He regarded himself as both architect and craftsman.
Chapman-Taylor frequently built in concrete, finishing the outside walls with trowel-stroked rough-cast plaster, iron window and door latches purpose-designed, and interior timbers adzed and dark stained. All these characteristics show in the Takapuna house above. Even the furniture might come from the hand of the architect as he was involved in furniture-crafting too.
All Chapman-Taylor's houses are economical in their use of space, intimate in detailing, and humanly satisfying to live in.
The home above, designed and built in the 1920s in Takapuna, North-shore, Auckland, was originally for jeweller Ruben Watts. Later it became owned by the Golders who have kept it intact all these years. Now, in 2016, after ninety years, it has been valued by the two owners, retaining its character including appropriate furnishings as you can see in my photos.
