Paddle Steamer Waverley 1975

Documentary filmed in 1975 as Waverley entered preservation.
Listen tae Jack House wi his posh Scottish BBC accent! Weel, a'h wis oan the steamer recently, and aw the crew speak in the West o Scotland vernacular. Hurrreh!
I do wish the narrator would refrain from calling this venerable vessel a, “boat”! There is an age old distinction that, “You can put a boat on a ship, but you can’t put a ship on a boat! She is designated P.S. Waverley meaning that she is a Paddle Steamer, a ship by any definition! ⚓️⚓️
Fantastic film - we have just enjoyed a trip in 2023 and are planning a trip to Scotland to visit again this year!
The late journalist and author, Jack House. He gave a talk at our school once, Hyndland Secondary, once to talk about journalism. He wrote "Square Mile of Murder" about some less savoury aspects of Glasgow's history .... Oscar Slater, Madeleine Smith, ...
Lovely video and a great narration that summarised a gracious and happy time on the Clyde. Well remembered. Thanks
A beautiful boat. You can see in this video in the 1970’s, a lot of dirty smoke coming out of her funnels. However when you see her sailing now there is virtually no visible smoke coming out. Obviously using much cleaner coal now. I’m so pleased this ship is still sailing in 2023 and she looks immaculate.
She doesn’t burn coal she was converted to Oil Burning Boilers in 1956 her boiler have since been replaced several times I’d say the lesser about of smoke would be the boiler being replaced and it being more efficient
Not a boat! See my main post.
A great ship but a lousy theme=song. Please see if you can find someone to write something better.
This is from 1975 not sure how they should change it !
still going strong today ruclips.net/video/D7riJuvG57s/видео.html
Reptilian hybrids in every school , the military know who and what you are and now the masses are seeing you , the truth will shock the world , the fact you still go in and lie deceive is beyond me nothing can stop whats coming
My old secondary school from 2013-2019, so many memories of the place. Always have a good time with this video.
Excellent video I love the Waverley 👍🏻
I was on it once from dunnon to the isle of bute to Rothesay
Fantastic video thank you
Great video! Does Waverly use feathering paddle wheels or regular paddle wheels?
Waverley has feathered paddle wheels so each float hits the water at the best angle for maximum thrust.
@@WaverleyExcursions1 Ah ok, thankyou!
That’s...the memory of a generation. Paddle wheel steamers are not as effective as modern ship with propellers, but they are beautiful--the feel of power, machine and steam
The economics of paddle vs screw have been known since 1900 give or take a few years. Two steamers were compared on the route up to Glasgow. One was the King Edward. They were broadly the same except for the method of propulsion. (I doubt if the screw propelled ship had turbines back then) After the owner measured the coal he knew which way to go. Earlier two Royal Navy ships had shown that the screw ship could win a tug o' war against a paddle ship.
@@myparceltape1169if it’s the 1901 built TS King Edward your talking about about she was the first commercial vessel to be driven by steam turbines I believe that Paddle Steamer where also more common as they had a smaller draught than a similar sized triple expansion or turbine ship this was important as a number of Clyde ports have not been dredged at this time
@@jacobitelivinghistory There are photos of several tied up side by side with disembarkation involving a walk across some other ships.
@@myparceltape1169I have seen these photos quite amazing how busy the harbours could get have you seen the picture of Rothesay with 3 on berth and a load more in the bay waiting for berth !
@@jacobitelivinghistory No, I haven't.
I went on the Waverly on a school trip in 79,on the Thames.I still have the souvenir tea towel.Great boat.
Boooooo killie

A bad choice of song as there are still paddle steamers operating in the world LOL
But how many of them can sail in the open-sea? Most, if not all, can only sail safely in inland waters; i.e. rivers and lakes.
Well said, James. She's the last ocean-going paddle steamer.
I went to that school from 1995-2000 I’ve got lots of good memories😀😀😀

Bernard Falk
Brings back fond memories
in new Zealand there's a back paddle steamer and it's really nice
40 years later and it's still goin strong! Well done anyone who helped keep it running for all those years. I remember my first trip on it as a teenager and goin down to see the Paddle engines and the guys shovelling coal to keep it goin.
