THE charity which operates the 65-year-old Clyde paddle steamer Waverley is seeking more recruits from Scottish companies and colleges to participate in its Waverley Academy training scheme.
The Waverley Academy has already hosted two apprentices from Glasgow-based engineering giant Weir Group, Alan Gemmel and William Douglas, who stripped down and rebuilt a pump from 1947, the year the ship was built.
Meanwhile, officer cadet Samantha Simpson, who studies at nautical college, has been on the Waverley scheme since May 2012, and is facing her final exams in March.
