Summary

The eighty-year-old paddle steamer Waverley, a veteran on the water, recently played hero by rescuing stranded passengers from a broken-down CalMac ferry, the MV Isle of Mull, during its final run of the season around the Inner Hebrides. The Waverley, built to replace a ship sunk during the Dunkirk operation, took on forty-two passengers for free, highlighting its importance for island communities and its enduring legacy.
