PS Waverley called at Whitstable in Kent on the Finale day of its Thames season 2026. It’s the last sea going paddle steamer anywhere in the world. We enjoyed beautiful weather for this trip.

This little Chaffinch joined us yesterday, hitching a ride on the Paddle Steamer Waverley. We were on a gorgeous trip around the Thames Estuary, calling at Whitstable.

Happy 80th Birthday to the P/S Waverley. Launched on the 2nd of October 1946 at the A. & J. Inglis shipyard in Glasgow, she's the last sea-going passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. This was her heading down the Clyde close to Dumbuck in 2024.
