The boiler is due back within
the next month from being overhauled and repaired with new tubes fitted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
The engine is currently being
modified so as the main drive shaft also drives the Water Feed Pump and Air
Pump. These will save the need for an on board diesel generator which was used
previously.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
An alternator with drive from
the main engine has been fitted. This will charge the batteries that will drive
the bow and stern thrusters and lighting throughout the vessel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
A new bow thruster has been
fitted as the previous one was seized.<o:p></o:p></div>

The saloon has been repaired
and new glazing fitted and is currently being painted.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
A WC is in the process of
being fitted, the type used in a camper van.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Various modifications have
been made to the deck and deck plates with a drainage system, in an attempt to
reduce water ingress into the bottom of the hull.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
It is hoped the vessel will be
ready to go into service in early May 2013 and it is Planned to offer cruises down
the River Frome from Wareham just to where the river enters Poole Harbour.</div>

On Thursday 7th Febuary Kingswear Castle steamed up the River Dart from Dartmouth to Totnes on a trial run. This was her first call at Totnes since 1965. Since her last visit Steamer Quay has been widened so there is now a reduced turning space to allow KC to cant before heading back down river to Dartmouth.<br />

The present Waverley was built in 1947 to replace HMS Waverley which was lost at Dunkirk. One of our local Isle of Wight steamers PS Gracie Fields was also lost. The 1899 built Waverley was bombed and sunk as she headed back to England from the beaches of Dunkirk. Her master at the time of her loss was Capt John Cameron. Although a non-swimmer Capt Cameron survived the sinking and became the first master of the present Waverley when she entered service on the Clyde in June 1947. Capt Cameron returned to the waters off Dunkirk on the present Waverley for the 40th anniversary and cast a wreath onto the sea. <br />
