PS Waverley : the first sixty years /Alistair Deayton and Iain Quinn.

"In 1947, one of the last paddle steamers built in the U.K. entered service on the Clyde. She was the PS Waverley, now famous as the world?s last sea-going paddler. She is now a frequent sight around the British coast, taking many thousands of pleasure-seekers on day trips from many British ports and harbors. From the Clyde to the Thames, from the Bristol Channel to the South Coast, Waverley is a magnificent sight. Totally rebuilt early this century, she is destined for another 60 years of service. Alistair Deayton and Iain Quinn take us on a nostalgic trip through more than a half century of Waverley history."--Provided by the publisher.
