Re-Boilering a National Treasure

This new publication tells the story of the appeal and the boiler refit which returned Waverley to steam. With over 160 images, many of which have never been shared with the public before, all aspects of the refit are documented as a record of the work undertaken to “Save The Waverley”.

Description

This new publication shares the inside story of the work undertaken during Waverley’s 2020 boiler refit. The story begins with the press release in May 2019 that announced to the world that Waverley was withdrawn from service. The Boiler Refit Appeal is then documented briefly before the refit is covered extensively.

Given the use of images showing the inside story, this publication will be of interest to everyone who has a fondness for Waverley.
