Did you guess our latest round of Plymouth I-Spy?
Well done to many of you for playing along and knowing that this splendid vessel was the PS Waverley. The Waverley is the worlds last going paddle steamer and we were fortunate to have her visit Plymouth recently on her 2026 South West coast sailing programme. 2026 marks 80 years since Waverley was launched on October 2, 1946.

Watch out for our next round of I-Spy.
