- At least 17 passengers suffered injuries after the Waverley paddle steamer crashed into a pier on the Isle of Arran.
Police were called to the ferry terminal in Brodick at 5.15pm after the vessel, which is the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer, hit the pier. One passenger who was on the steamer said everyone on board was told to disembark and move away to allow ambulances to get past.
He told STV News: “We were on the way back into the ferry terminal at Brodick and they didn’t seem to slow down at the last minute as they normally do and all of a sudden there was a bang and most people that were standing up got knocked over as we came to a rapid stop.”
It is believed that 213 passengers and 26 crew were on board at the time of the collision. A total of 17 have reported injuries, and a number have been taken to hospital with head and spinal injuries.

99 years old and still going strong.
Yes, bless him, that’s what I thought too ❤️
Let's hope the Waverley can keep sailing for the rest of this summer season. So sad - so soon after she's finished her huge refit we've all been following.
I've been on this boat many times and she's an absolute beaut! Keep her going!!!
In all that report, not one close up of the actual damage to the stem post.
She's beautiful I hope she never gets taken out of service. ❤️
I got on the Waverley at Portsmouth and when it was coming in to pick us up and hit about 3-5 boats moored up there
Must be a drifty boat
By witness accounts, a member of the public was steering the ship when she hit Brodick Pier. Coincidence??
That's why, you should always stay at the Bridge!
How'd they get in the driver cockpit?
They should fit some bumpers...
I took my uncle on it maybe 15 yr ago and we went from Largs we went into I think it was Rothesay and it hit a big yacht. The owner was not happy as the Captain tried to do a runner .i got a feeling alcohol involved with this latest
COVID central as stranded passengers are spending night in ferry terminal.
They chose to go on a ship with not much deck space, at least they can keep distanced from each other in a building...
WRONG,cal-Mac put an extra sailing for the passengers!
@@drevil757 look athe history of accidents and money thrown at the old barge get rid of it sink it and claim insurance.
Good job there is no crime or budget pressures in Scotland, as otherwise all these dozens of cops in their cars and 'copters would not have been able to waste hundreds of hours and thousands of pounds sitting around the dock after this wee boat denting incident doing nothing productive at all...
Who’s watching in 2020 not the captain or he would have missed brodick pier
more steam mcphail
No-one trusts an eye witness more than one with a Scottish accent whom's wearing not one, but 'two' pairs of glasses. Wonder if the skipper was breathalysed?
hahahaha!!!
Was the captain drunk? How do you hit a pier with enough force to damage it and cause so many injuries? I’ve seen countless boats ad ferries pulling into piers, and they’re always moving very slowly.
Every time I hear about the Waverley these days it seems to be either “it’s crashed” or “we need money for a refit or repairs”. What’s going on?
It's said a passenger was allowed to steer, if you're docking, don't just try to steer it like you know it.
How convenient. There has been a serious uptick in the amount of things crashing, blowing up or going on fire all over the world recently under the cover of the sniffles. Not at all foul play or pre planned 🤔😂😂😂
High time she just became a museum piece. Too many incidents and accidents
That would be incredibly sad but I think you may be right. Let's not wait until someone is killed.
grahamlive 3 people died in a train crash a few weeks ago lets put trains in museums?
There is only one paddle steamer, and it has had alot of accidents. Not all can be contributed to bad luck, bad weather. There is definite incompetence at play here. I worked on her and Balmoral, and saw the corner cutting and risk taking for myself
@@drevil757 ..that was negligence after a storm they should have checked the lines. why defend a stupid old boat look at the accidents and cost to maintain it. So your telling me there going to fix the train and put it back to work are you.
that old ship will still be sailing down the Clyde when you’re in your retirement home
This boat has had more accidents and money thrown at it than can be justified. Dock it and get something safe for trasportation is it insurance claims that maintain it or public money.
How about we all wait for the accident report before simply stating the vessel is unsafe and should never be returned to service. Paddle steamers themselves are proven to be a safe form of transport if operated and maintained correctly. Yes, the Waverley has had a couple of bumps over the years, but when you consider just how long she's been in service, her accident record is very good. Plenty of other vessels, with a life span of less than half of the Waverley's suffer the same amount of bumps, if not more. Only they are not famous, so don't attract the nationwide press reports that any incident involving the Waverley does.
You're the kind of person who says "oh, old ships should be docked forever because of this accident" but then would agree to teleport to the Costa Concordia in 2012, after they explained that it will sink.
