Waverley’s summer sailings begin on Tuesday June 20.
2017 marks the 70th year since Waverley’s maiden voyage. Named after Sir Walter Scott’s first novel, the ship was built for the London & North Eastern Railway to replace the paddle steamer, HMS Waverley, which was sunk on May 29th, 1940 whilst evacuating troops from Dunkirk. Launched on October 2, 1946 from the former A&J Inglis yard in Glasgow, she was later towed to Greenock where her triple expansion engines were fitted by Rankin & Blackmore. These have now become one of the ship’s major attractions!
Ross Cochrane, Waverley’s Captain said: “Waverley is a very special ship full of history and charm there is a trip for everyone, places to be explored and enjoyed for both young and old. Every passenger who comes aboard helps this beautiful ship continue to sail and I would encourage everyone to come and enjoy a trip on her. Some of the most stunning scenery in the world can be found on the west coast of Scotland and Waverley offers a unique way to experience it. I look forward to welcoming you onboard.”
Waverley has onboard facilities including a restaurant serving hot and cold snacks, two bars, heated lounges and a souvenir shop.
