Waverley paddle steamer

I have a bit more of an idea what to do on Blip. I suppose I should have read the rules but in true man fashion I hadn't bothered. Anyway I know now I can only post one pic at a time but I can post a wee bit of my history.

Here is the grand old lady MV Waverley. She is the last sea going paddle steamer in the world and lives in Glasgow. In true Glasgow fashion people are not so impressed by a title like that they are more impressed that she is a piece of engineering history that takes you down the river Clyde and passed the graveyard of our industrial history. But on a cheerier note she takes you round the wonderful islands and coastal towns of the Firth of Clyde.

A 10 hour day trip is possible on this wonderful ship.

This was taken when we were sailing on the yacht White Rose on My Cannon picture picture isn't great quality. Too much auto focus and settings but at least you get an idea of her grace.
