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". In 2019, Waverley was withdrawn from service due to boiler problems. An appeal was subsequently launched with a target of £2.3 million to recommission Waverley. It was announced on 11 July 2019 that new boilers had been ordered from Cochran Ltd. Ref KKK 1.

"This book has two purposes. First, to provide a comprehensive and illustrated history of a ship worth remembering. In her original form, Jeanie Deans was a flier and a visible link to paddle steamers of the previous century. In her later dowager guise and as an experiment in active preservation, she became a forerunner to Waverley, the very last of the line. Second, and equally important, this book will raise charitable funds for Waverley?another small step in her preservation. Not only was Jeanie Deans a trailblazer for Waverley in her design and machinery, but also?unlike Waverley?she proved her mettle in war and survived a succession of radical peacetime transformations, through which she developed her unique and unforgettable personality.".

PS Jeanie Deans was a Clyde paddle steamer, built in 1931 for the London and North Eastern Railway. She was a popular boat, providing summer cruises from Craigendoran until 1964. Jeanie Deans was built for summer cruising from Craigendoran. In 1931, she took up the company's flagship Lochgoilhead and Arrochar service. On Sundays, she provided cruises down the Firth. These lower Firth cruises were extended from the 1932 season, visiting Ayr and offering cruises around Ailsa Craig and bringing her into direct contact with the Duchess of Hamilton. By the outbreak of war, she was the longest and fastest paddle steamer on the Firth. She was requisitioned by the government and saw war service as a minesweeper and operated initially as flotilla leader of the 11th Minesweeping Flotilla first at Ardrossan then from Portland, Dorset, during the Battle of Britain in 1940. At the end of the year, she was docked at Milford Haven for repair to storm damage. In April 1941, she went to the Royal Albert Dock in London for conversion to an anti aircraft vessel, entering service in the following month in the Thames Local Defence Flotilla during the final phase of the London Blitz. She remained on that station, later being used against V-1 flying bombs approaching London, claiming three shot down. She was returned to her owners late in 1944 and resumed to her peacetime duties in 1946; she launched the popular "Round Bute" cruise in the 1950s. Jeanie Deans was withdrawn after the 1964 season and sold for further cruising on the River Thames. As Queen of the South, she operated for the Coastal Steam Packet Company until 1967. Lavishly illustrated throughout with rare photographs from private collections, many published here for the first time. Ref KK 2.
