The Paddle Steamer Preservation Society exists to support the preservation of paddle steamers and their history.

Across many years the PSPS has contributed in excess of £3.7 million towards the preservation of Waverley and over £600,000 to Kingswear Castle.

The main things we do are:

• assisting in keeping Waverley and Kingswear Castle steaming on into the future;
• conserving and working towards exhibiting our unrivalled collection of paddle steamer pictures, sailing bills, documents, models and other objects; and
• supporting other British paddle steamers, including Maid of the Loch and Medway Queen.
