Southampton

11th September 2004

 

Shieldhall left Southampton at 10:00hrs for a non-stop cruise around the Isle of Wight. Waverley departed at the same time, calling at Portsmouth and Yarmouth, and was then scheduled to follow Shieldhall around around the Island. How often have two steamships circumnavigated the Island on the same day in recent years? Despite poor predictions, the weather was sunny for most of the day, although choppy conditions were encountered by Shieldhall between the Needles and St Catherine's Point. I would not wanted to have been on Waverley in such conditions, and indeed her cruise was diverted elsewhere.
