Wayzgoose On The Waverley

There's a fair bit of traffic flowing past our printworks. This grand lady is The Waverley, the world's last ocean-going paddle steamer. We snapped her as she passed at 7 minutes past 10 this morning on her last voyage of the summer season.

A trip on The Waverley was a favourite choice for the annual Wayzgoose of many of Glasgow's printing companies, as it offered all the components of a great day out; entertainment, refreshments, splendid surroundings, beautiful scenery and a convivial atmosphere.

It takes a hefty bit to maintain such a vessel as The Waverley, and she is in need of a bit of support to tide her over the winter months. So, along with Glasgow Press, you can keep her afloat by making a donation here and keep the printers happy for many long years to come.
