Waverley completed a £7m Heritage Rebuild in 2003 - restoring her to her former 1940s glory - thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the support & financial assistance of many authorities and civic bodies notably Glasgow City Council, the PSPS, Scottish Enterprise and Local Councils of Dumbartonshire, Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, Argyle & Bute. The project was also partially funded by the European Union, European Regional Development Fund.
The Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS) provides valuable financial support to the ongoing preservation of Waverley & Balmoral through funding for capital projects & donations. For details of how to become a Member, click on 'Support Us' on the home page.
Balmoral also benefitted from refurbishment during the winter of 2003/4 - again with thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery fund and also local councils around the Bristol Channel area - Balmoral's main sailing area.
We also enjoy a mutually rewarding relationship with many Tourist Boards throughout the UK who act as our Ticket Agents - giving a local point of sale & information for our Passengers.
