The "Waverley" is the last seagoing passenger carrying paddle steamer in the world.
She was built in 1946 at A. and J. Inglis (Glasgow) shipyard and named after Sir Walter Scott's first novel.
V 1: Waverley heading out in the Firth of Clyde on 25.07.2011 (the island of Arran lies in the b/g)
V 2: Returning to her home berth by the Science Centre (just off screen to the right of the BBC building) in the mid evening sunshine on 09.07.2011
Details: see EXIF
My grateful thanks to all who Cand C'd on "Abbeyfield Gold".
Ronnie.

I love this old pleasure steamer, and have been on a trip....a REAL pleasure! She has been beautifully restored. She was bought for the princely sum of £1 in 1974 by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society.
V1 is my favourite, she sits so beautifully against the mountain, majestic and proud.
Cracking shots Ronnie, wont be long before she is down here, when hopefully Ill get a shot or two of her.

Just back to say Ronnie,that I tend to carry my Minolta as well as the G11 when I am out.
I have a 70/210 on my Minolta which I use for the more ''far away'' shots that are ''out of reach'' of the G11.
A good example would be subjects at the other side of the harbour for instance.

Arran and the Holy Isle make a wonderful backdrop for the Waverley sliding gracefully down the Clyde. She's brought so much pleasure to millions of people from around the world and leaves a lasting memory wherever she sails.

Two super images Ronnie, both well captured.

Hi Ronnie.
Have had a few trips on her, the last a few weeks back from Penarth to Ilfracombe, fine old ship and a great bar.
Regards
Trev.
Blimey, she's even older than me! Only just, though... 
A wonderful old paddle steamer, and two great captures, Ronnie - V1 is timeless 
Trev
Those double funnels are great to see.
What a beauty she is... good to see her at sea
V1 for me, great image with the back drop of the mountains, nice one !
Testament to the shipbuilding skills of yesteryear Ronnie, she's a beautiful design, wonder how many folk she's carried in her time. Great capture with that backdrop of mountains, a fine image.

I have to agree. She sailed the south coast quite often. V1 for me, the scenery.
Steve.
I could go for either shot, both are superb with strong colours
Great shots of the Waverly,Ronnie, she gets around a bit
Mike
Two excellent images Ronnie, v1 is my preference too
