Second PSPS Visit to P.S. Waverley at Great Yarmouth
Report Part 2
Words and Pictures by Martin Longhurst
More deck furniture waiting its return to the ship
The Bridge steps and the steps to the Monkey Island above the wheelhouse
The paddler's newly repainted funnels seen from the wood work shop
The party makes its way down to the quay side
The starboard paddlebox under repair - note the new port hole
Edmund Waverley waits patiently
The new port hole from inboard. Normally this will be obscured by the landing platform steps. The idea of the hatch is to give easy access for bulky parts during any future work. It will not be used on a day-to-day basis. A spotlight will be mounted on the bracket to illuminate the paddle wheel at night.
Next we visited the forward observation shelter
The wooden deck head - this will be painted. Note the pulley wheel and strings - an early stage of re-installing the telegraph apparatus
At the after end there will be a lobby athwartships giving access to the observation shelter (right) or to the new companionway (left)
The view into the Boiler Room from the foot of the new companionway
Caulking in progress on the Main Deck
