Boarded the Waverley on a rare trip from Weston-super-Mare, here's what I saw

A rare Weston-super-Mare stop gave visitors a close look at the Waverley, the world's last seagoing paddle steamer, during its Bristol Channel season. On May 31, Knightstone Island drew crowds as the ship, bound for Penarth and Clevedon Pier, prepared for a short voyage; the second trip on June 2 was later cancelled due to a fault. The writer joined the May 31 voyage, enjoying sunset views of Birnbeck Pier and hearing about its ongoing restoration valued at more than £44 million. The journey continued past Penarth to Clevedon Pier, with Steep Holm and Flat Holm offshore before a return to Weston.
