Historic paddle steamers meet on River Dart
- Published
Two historic paddle steamers met in Dartmouth for a special celebration.
The world's last sea-going paddle steamer, the Waverley, and the last coal-powered paddle steamer, Kingswear Castle, cruised together down River Dart.
The Waverley, which was launched on the River Clyde in Scotland in 1946, visited the Dart as part of a series of sailings around the south coast.
Kingswear Castle, which operates on the Dart, has been in service for 100 years.
