Last few Waverley sailings

The Waverley is coming towards the end of its annual visit, which owing to the weather has seen more Swanage sailings cancelled than actually operate this year, which is a shame not only for the people who had paid good money for a day out but also to the preservation society that operates the ship and relies on excursion income to keep her in good order.

Still, it was nice to see her alongside Swanage Pier again on Tuesday and Wednesday this week when the weather was a little calmer.

There are a still a few more cruises left before the season ends, so grab a chance to sail on the last sea going paddle steamer in the world while you can. And I'm told that if the sailing is cancelled owing to weather, you can use your ticket on another cruise even if its a more expensive one.
