The world's last sea-going passenger paddle steamer, the PS Waverley, passing a monument to Henry Bell, the person who designed the very first one, the PS Comet, which was launched in 1812. The Waverley regularly passes this location at Dunglass Castle on her trips up and down the Clyde, just as the Comet would have done some 212 years earlier.

The P/S Waverley, the world's last ocean-going passenger paddle steamer, sailing down the Clyde this morning from her home port of Glasgow. She was built in 1946 to replace an earlier vessel of the same name which was sunk in 1940 while helping to evacuate British troops from Dunkirk.
