Unique Tour Of The Maid Of The Loch
April 11, 2024 @ 10:30 am - 2:30 pm
SOLD OUT
She is currently out of the water for a refurb, come and view her on dry land!
The Maid is the very last paddle steamer to be built in Britain, and is the UK’s only remaining example of an ‘Up an Doon’ Vessel – A ship that’s been built twice!
The ship was saved from sinking in 1995 and since then a community of volunteers has spent thousands of hours bringing her back to life.
The ship is presently on the Slipway and major restoration works to her hull and paddles are underway, but the Loch Lomond Steamship Company are keen to welcome visitors to the shipyard where they can see for themselves the amazing work underway.
