Waverley sailed down to Greenock to meet up with fleet-mate
MV Balmoral which had earlier arrived at the town's James Watt Dock after a
passage up from her winter berth at Bristol. On April 18th the two ships entered
dry-dock together for their annual inspections. Photos below by Kenny Whyte Both
ships left the dry dock on April 30th
Below : May 3rd 2012 : Waverley approaches her Glasgow
berth on her return from dry-docking at Greenock. Here she passes
her place of birth, the former A & J Inglis shipyard at Pointhouse,
Glasgow, now the site of the city's Riverside Museum. Moored outside
is the "Tall Ship" Glenlee. In the foreground, Fencer
