Waverley Excursions – The world's last Seagoing paddle steamer

  <https://waverleyexcursions.co.uk/>(and yes, the Scottish scenery is 
as beautiful as it looks)

I ran away on her when I was about 7. The engineer allowed me to sit on 
the end of the crankshaft and the parallel motion bearings of the 
largest cylinders of her triple bank triple expansion steam engines when 
moving (slowly).

Then he bought me a whisky in the bar and sent me home.
