I remember that view from many, many years ago. Saw it from the PS Waverley which brought us on a day trip from to
I was very impressed with the condition of the steamer, the woodwork was splendid.

So you took this from Penarth Pier, whaw!

We are going on a paddle steamer today, the Waverley, boarding at Milford Haven, and going round the islands.

First Waverley pix of 2023 for me as she came to Greenock to enter dry dock.

For here's the 1940s paddle steamer (the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world) Waverley docked at on the last year. We had been aboard from Portsmouth and this was supposed to be a short stop ahead of a circuit of the island but the engine developed a fault and we ended up with an unexpected longer stop at Yarmouth. It gave us a chance to visit the castle and a pub. And another pub. And another pub.

On this day in history. The paddle steamer Maid of the Loch was launched on Loch Lomond 70 years ago today, on 5 March 1953, and regularly sailed on the loch until 1981. It is hoped to return her to service. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lom

Here's a photo of Steamboat Wharf from Jamaica Street dated 1852 Taken by John Kibble, later famous for the Kibble Palace. From the collection of the Botanic Gardens,
I edited this photo of a print for clarity. It's a bit of a restoration job I suppose.
