Waverley is recorded on a sailing from Portsmouth and Yarmouth around the Isle of Wight. Commentary updated for the 40th Anniversary of the steamer’s first visit to the Solent in 1978. Views of The Needles, the cliffs of Tennyson Down and the ‘Back of the Wight Coast’ to St Catherine’s Point. Waverley steams on past Ventnor, Shanklin, Sandown, Culver Cliff, Bembridge and the Solent Forts on her way back to Yarmouth Pier. Includes archive footage of diesel electric paddle vessel Farringford in the 1950s.

Released in 2018 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Waverley’s first Thames visit. We join the steamer at Gravesend for an up river sailing to London with the excitement of Tower Bridge opening for the ship before she turns just below London Bridge. Includes archive footage of Waverley’s first Thames visit, Eagle Steamers’ MV Royal Sovereign and PS Jeanie Deans as ‘Queen of the South’. We’re joined by maritime historian Peter Box for the history of Thames sailings since early Victorian days.
