Waverly, the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world, made a visit to the UK's south coast today, and is seen here tied-up along side Bournemouth pier.
Launched in 1946 and designed for the more sheltered waters of the Firth of Clyde, she is now operated around the coast of Britain. In 1999/2000 the steamer underwent a two stage re-fit financed by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and was completed in 2003.
