The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Waverley Steam Navigation Company and the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society on their 77-year-old Glasgow-based paddle steamer, Waverley, being awarded the prestigious status of National Flagship of the Year 2024 by National Historic Ships UK; applauds the PS Waverley’s crew, which each year works tirelessly to enable the world’s last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer to conduct an extensive sailing programme the length and breadth of the British Isles; notes what it sees as the significant economic benefit that the PS Waverley brings to over 60 ports and piers that it docks at each year, and wishes the PS Waverley and her crew all the best for their ambitious 2024 sailing programme, departing from the River Clyde on 17 May.
