SS SHIELDHALL and PS WAVERLEY followed by the Coastguard helicopter for a bit of practice

SS Shieldhall is a preserved steamship that operates from Southampton. She is the largest operational historic steamship in Europe and one of the last reciprocating steam engine ships built, using technology that dated back to the last quarter of the 19th century and which was obsolete at the time of her construction. She spent her working life as one of the "Clyde sludge boats", making regular trips from Shieldhall in Glasgow, Scotland, down the River Clyde and Firth of Clyde past the Isle of Arran, to dump treated sewage sludge at sea. These steamships had a tradition, dating back to the First World War, of taking organised parties of passengers on their trips PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973. Bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS), she has been restored to her 1947 appearance and now operates passenger excursions around the British coast. Since 2003, Waverley has been listed in the National Historic Fleet by National Historic Ships UK as "a vessel of pre-eminent national importance" The Coastguard rescue helicopter base at Lee-on-the-Solent is located at Solent Airport and operates Agusta AW189 aircraft under the HM Coastguard contract, delivered by Bristow Helicopters Inc.. The base maintains one AW189 helicopter on constant standby for search and rescue (SAR) operations in the region, providing vital emergency support for the south of England.
