		A new paddle steamer, Waverley was introduced for the 1947 season, the last before railway nationalisation and the transfer of the vessels to the British Transport Commission and later to its newly acquired subsidiary, the Caledonian Steam Packet Company, the LNER's former bitter rivals.
		Waverley was the last paddler and last steamship built for the Clyde, the last paddler to remain on the Clyde.
		Since 1975 she has steamed for private owners, including from a re-opened Helensburgh, the pier from which the story of railway-owned steamers was begun by the LNER's predecessors.

		The PS ''Waverley'' was built on the Clyde in 1947 as a replacement for the original PS ''Waverley'' of 1899 that had taken part in the WW II war effort as a minesweeper and was sunk in 1940 while helping with the evacuation of troops from Battle of Dunkirk Dunkirk.
		The new 693 tonne steamer was launched in October 1946 at builders A & J Inglis, Glasgow, and was originally built for the LNER to sail the Firth of Clyde run from Craigendoran pier, Helensburgh, up Loch Long to Arrochar, with the funnels painted the now familiar red, white and fl.
		The CSP had been gradually merging with the west highland ferry company ''MacBraynes'', and in 1973 the company became Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd. The ''Waverley'' was withdrawn after the 1973 season as too costly to operate and in need of significant expenditure.

	PS Waverley
		Weighing 693 tonnes, she is 239.5ft long, with a beam of 30.ft, and a draft of 6.5ft.
		Waverleys career was soon however to follow, due to the advent of greater car ownership and the ‘package holiday’, and at the end of 1973, she was finally considered by her owners to be commercially un-viable as maintenance costs and more frequent breakdowns finally forced her to be laid up.
		It was agreed the PSPS would purchase the Waverley for the sum of £1 and would attempt to preserve her for future generations.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bells
		In Rome it is never rung at the Domino non sum dignus and is not used at all at Masses said by the pope or by cardinals.
		It is in no doubt in virtue of the solemnity which they lend to worship that the "Ceremoniale Episcoporum" directs that they are to be rung in honour of the bishop when he visits the church.
		This last instance, perhaps the earliest example of a bell with a aname, throws an interesting light on the origin of the practice of assigning bells to a particular patron.

		She became superfluous to the Red Funnel line needs in 1968 as dedicated car ferries were introduced to satisfy the booming demand for such services at the expense of traditional day-tripping.
		She was not long out of service, however as P and A Campbell, long term operators of cruises and ferry services on the Bristol Channel, chartered her for the 1969 season to make capacity after the withdrawal of the last two of a long line of paddle steamers.
		Had it not been for the operators of Waverley looking for a second vessel to support Waverley and build up the cruising market around the UK for Waverley to exploit, Balmoral would surely have faced the final curtain.

	Waverley
		Waverley is officially the world's last sea-going paddler and has been owned by and operated on behalf of the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, a charitable organisation, since 1975 after a massive effort to save her from the breakers forefronted by PSPS members Terry Sylvester and Douglas McGowan.
		Built for the sheltered waters of the Craigendoran-Arrochar route on the Firth of Clyde, it became clear to her operators that she would only be viable through extending her season and sailing from other points around the British coastline.
		Planned to replace the previous Waverley (1899), withdrawn in 1939 and sunk at Dunkirk in 1940.

		Waverley managed to beat the bad weather, although there was a gale warning for Sea Area Thames on the morning of 14 October, and reached Great Yarmouth safely.
		Although she had been due to steam to the Norfolk port with passengers as a "Mystery Cruise" to end her season, the weather closed in and ruled out this possibility.

		The new structure, costing £0.585m overall, is sheet-piled, filled in with stone, given a tar macadam surface and finished off with wooden coping.
