The PS Waverley, the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world, is currently running its south coast excursions, and I always try to get some photographs during the season.
Today's image was shot at 6.40pm as the Waverley made an approach to tie-up at Bournemouth Pier, Dorset, but oddly this was as close as it came. For reasons best known to the captain the steamer then stopped; reversed back ou...er, went astern into open water and then headed east. I can only assume that there were no passengers wanting to disembark at this point.
