Slides — 1983

These early slides are undated so I have relied on non-comprehensive diary notes to recreate the probable timeline.



Waverley on the Forth — Saturday, 21 May 1983

Waverley on the Clyde — Tuesday, 2 August 1983

Waverley on the Clyde — Sunday, 21 August 1983



Waverley on the Forth — Saturday, 21 May 1983


This appears to be a sailing from Grangemouth (I think, despite the slides being labelled Leith), we appear to have called at Burntisland and Granton before cruising round the Bass Rock, returning to Granton, Burntisland and finishing at Grangemouth (probably).

Waverley from somewhere to Ayr


These slides are all dated Sunday, 21 August 1983 but I hae ma doots. The Sunday sail in those days was round Bute but the first 4 look more like a Saturday to Tighnabuaich. The last three are an evening approach to Ayr which would imply a Tuesday or Wednesday.
