This book is a celebration of 50 years since the "Paddler for a Pound" handover of Waverley by Caledonian MacBrayne to the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society. It consists of a series of chapters written by leading figures in her preservation, pictorial records of key events such as her first weekend in service, and a full colour photographic journey around Britain and Ireland featuring all the areas, and many of the piers and ports, to which she has operated during the preservation era.
