Talk:PS Waverley

message: *The distinctive sight of the two red, white and black funnels and white superstructure with paddle wheel boxes on each side adds to the scenery and is appreciated by photographers both on and off the ship.
*...can linger to watch the mesmerising movement of the triple-expansion.
*To everyone's amazement, a massive fund-raising operation was successful, and to the surprise of the PSPS they found themselves running a cruise ship operation: Waverley Excursions.
*...which is quite something for a ship intended for a regular Firth of Clyde run.

message: "the last survivor of the fleets of Clyde steamers"
That's open to interpretation.  The old TS Queen Mary still survives, though moored as a restaurant in London.  I assume it means the last operational survivor? Douglasnicol 23:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The following information added about PS Monarch seems unsupported by references giving any link to the Waverley, but it's an interesting subject so could do with its own article. 
:Previous to Waverley damaging Worthing Pier, she was involved in a further incident at Yarmouth pier the day after meeting the smallest commercially operated paddle steamer, Monarch, on the Solent.
* Paddle Steamer Monarch, Isle of Wight
So, a useful project for someone! . . dave souza, talk 21:59, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A start at an article on PS Monarch has been made, could probably use some more work though. Editor5807speak 20:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: PS ''Monarch''

message: Why no mention of the ship's appearance in the 2013 movie Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows?
Has she appeared in other productions?
Also, her appearance in the Sherlock Holmes movie is anachronistic.  She was built in 1946 but the movie was set in 1891 ! ! ! 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 07:26, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I've tagged this claim as dubious. It is supported by this BBC article, but there it only says that that's how the vessel is "described" — by whom, I wonder? And in any case, how can anyone tell with any certainty whether there are other paddle steamers carrying passengers somewhere in the world? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:33, 3 September 2020(UTC)
* This is a good website: http://www.paddlesteamers.info/steamerindex.htm  and has this list which supports the claim....  http://www.paddlesteamers.info/PaddleSteamerList.htm  ... with the seagoing being crucial to the claim... (Msrasnw (talk) 13:30, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: They've been making this claim for decades. The idea that there are other sea-going passenger-carrying paddlesteamers out there but no-one has challenged this claim until now is itself dubious. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 16:11, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world"? 

message: Passenger capacity is given as “Up to 925 passengers in Class V waters” but I can’t find a definition of class v waters anywhere online.  Waverley is a class v ship and the Mca define waters as classes a b c and d.  has something got mixed up? 152.37.89.130 (talk) 20:37, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
