'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!
