Berthing the Waverley at Ayr
Berthing the Waverley at Ayr
Low tide berthing at Ayr Harbour for the paddle steamer “Waverley” involves a complicated manoeuvre with the ship’s lifeboat. After entering the coal basin on the north side, the steamer has to make a 3-point turn for berthing on the south side of the harbour, ready for the next sailing. If this proves to be impossible, the ship’s lifeboat carries 2 ropes to the south side from where the steamer hauls itself across the harbour.
