Paddling at Llandudno

Paddle Steamer Waverley approaches the pier head at Llandudno.

PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946 and entering service in 1947, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973.

Entering preservation in 1973 the ship now visits many ports and harbours along the south and west coasts of Britain each summer. 2024 saw a three day visit to North Wales and the Mersey with calls at Holyhead, Llandudno and Wallasey.
