[edit] Point-of-view examples

• The distinctive sight of the two red, white and black funnels and white superstructure with paddle wheel boxes on each side adds to the scenery and is appreciated by photographers both on and off the ship.

• ...can linger to watch the mesmerising movement of the triple-expansion.

• To everyone's amazement, a massive fund-raising operation was successful, and to the surprise of the PSPS they found themselves running a cruise ship operation: Waverley Excursions.

• ...which is quite something for a ship intended for a regular Firth of Clyde run.

[edit] question

"the last survivor of the fleets of Clyde steamers"

That's open to interpretation. The old TS Queen Mary still survives, though moored as a restaurant in London. I assume it means the last operational survivor? Douglasnicol 23:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Good point. .. dave souza, talk 00:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
