Having arrived pretty much on time, PS Waverley departed Helensburgh around 100 minutes late on 25 August 2018. The steamer is seen heading west on what was supposed to be a trip to Rothesay, the stop at Dunoon having been removed during the extended stop at Helensburgh. However reports suggest that around 15 minutes later the paddles stopped turning.
Location: Helensburgh Pier
Company: Piers on the Firth of Clyde
