Re: Paddle Steamer Waverley
The iconic Waverley Paddle Steamer will return to operation next summer after more than £2million was raised for essential repairs.
The 70-year old ship, much-loved for trips 'doon the watter' in the Clyde and up the Argyll coast, was unable to sail last season.
A fundraiser was set up after it was announced seven months ago that the famous ship would not operate this year.
Since then, more than 8000 individuals, along with the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, several trusts and the Scottish Government have all donated - reaching the £2.3million target.
