gifted her to the Paddle Steamer
Preservation Society in 1974.

2015 marked the 40th year that the ship has
sailed in preservation. Sold by Caledonian
MacBrayne for £1, Waverley has been operated by
a charity since 1975, and preserved as a
heritage asset for the benefit of the
communities around the UK, creating an economic
impact and connecting communities. Incredibly,
she has had a longer career in preservation
than she had as a commercial enterprise!
