About this ebook
‘If the Waverley sank right now and I wanted to swim to the nearest land, how far would that be?’ ‘About a hundred yards, sur.’ ‘Amazing. Which way?’ ‘Down!'
True ‘Glesca’ humour and history combined, Kerryoans up the Clyde! recounts the adventures of a vessel full of character with a captain to match: Morrison’s Waverley and ‘Big Lizzie’ are each as formidable and inalienably Scottish as the other.
Morrison captures the charmingly unique spirit of the last of the Clyde’s paddle steamers as well as the facts of its history. Full of playful tales, many a chuckle and the quirky illustrations of Bob Dewar, you’re sure to find something that floats your boat!
