Description

Limited, more normally known as the Red Funnel line. She now operates alongside the world's last seagoing paddle steamer, PS Waverley. Mv Balmoral was taken out of service in 2013 for a major refit costing over £300,000 and was returned to service in the Bristol Channel on 19 June 2015. Blamoral is seen here getting up a head of steam to leave Penarth Pier ready for another excursion along the Bristol Channel.
