Hi Dukes Cut looks more like a boat graveyard !

You could take pleasure cruises on her from Penarth Pier in the 1960s.

I wish we could have done that for SS Nevasa, hey? loved that ship.

I’d love to have a ship like this

Nice ship, nice vídeo. I like to now more about technical part. But is ok.!

A lovely record, thank you.

Really hoping to sail on her again in the future......

My brother and I did this trip in May 2016 (although started at Southend). The weather was not so kind as here and she was poorly patronised that day. The last time I was able to sail on her....

Excellent camera work as usual. I reckon that one reason for the small number of viewings of these videos is the infuriating google ads

This is my wife’s island. She was born in 1943 and lived in Ventnor until 1964. We visited the island in 1992 and saw the Balmoral sailing past when we were on Culver Point. Loved this video, it gave me a great view of the island from the sea. The needles looked magnificent and Ventnor looked like Ventnor. Thank you for this video.

Years ago I worked there in the tavern.. I'd love to go back there one day, but I doubt I will make it because I live in Australia.

How can a M V steam-up?

Superlative dedication to the project and a great documentary, with one of the emotive speakers suddenly taking me back around 50 years to The Clangers!

What a fantastic piece of history you are all preserving. I have seen the Waverley many times but was unaware of the Balmoral, beautiful👍👍 Good luck in the future.

I knew of the 'Great Britain" & Bristol, but Balmoral is quite shiny, too !

A great video. Well done to all involved in saving this wonderful ship.

Following the explanations of the narrator I was always searching for a 'hall' or a 'hole' until I realized he was speaking about the hull. Being Non-English I have to rely on what I learned at school and also the Oxford Universal Dictionary tells me to pronounce the 'u' in 'hull' like the 'u' in 'nuts'. Nowadays the English language sounds pretty (or is it already 'preddy'?) American.

One my grandfathers was engineer on it brian tucker

to all that put the time in to restoring this amazing vessel thank you so much is lost little is saved to all the people who put time in to documenting this project well done much appreciated

Doesn't Fred Olsen Cruises have a ship named Balmoral??

At 11.55, how come she has the Swedish flag? Thx for great video.

2:59 "well-loved steamer" - that runs on diesel ??????

Has it now got a straight prop-shaft ? Heard it was bent when on her in the late 1980s on a trip to Whitehaven from Whitehaven via (Ramsey & Douglas,) IOM. Assuming it's the same 'Balmoral' - friend of the Waverley

What a pleasure to watch, such a beautiful vessel ,this even put a tear in my eyes..well done to all concerned..

What a beautifully sleek and graceful-looking little ship she is. The narrator on this video did a perfect presentation. Very relaxing to watch, and I enjoyed it immensly.

Not so sure painting over rust is the best idea...

I remember her well, sailing from Shanklin in the IOW. Happy days.

As always, the government screws a lot of industries up because of new and impending regulations which really serves no purpose but to further their power over the people. Thanks for a great story about a really cool vessel. Tons of $ already spent and she can't sail. What a shame it is.

10/10 to the volunteers. An excellent effort.

sloppy job on the hull prep

Excellent video. Thank you for posting.

We went on a trip on the Balmoral back in around 2014. from Southend to the pool of London. A lovely ship, and it was interesting to see London from the Thames. There were a couple of downsides. The ship was so packed with people you had to take turns to breathe. We also made the mistake of not taking any food with us, as we understood there was food available on board. By the time we got back to Southend we were starving, surviving all day on a packet of crisps. There was also a very long delay at Tilbury, while passengers who had to get back to Ramsgate (?) disembarked for their coaches. I of course realize that allowance has to be made for disabled people, but in an emergency, people in wheelchairs could cost lives.

So.... it was all a lie then, was it? I was always told that it was the Isle of Wight ferry that was brown and came steaming out of Cowes, but the Balmoral was never brown at all, was she?

Lets hope she can sail again soon

Beautiful Vessel. The Drydock part of the video bought back so many memories when I was in the Navy and went through Overhaul and Drydock in various American Shipyards. I hope that when I can travel to England again after this nonsense. I get to see her and visit the HMS Victoria. Maybe even visit the pub we got barred from in 1980.

She is certainly a very regal lady. Thank you for sharing.

Fond memories of her cruising up the coast from Ilfracombe when i was fishing on my boat. as she went up channel you could tell her passenger load by how much she listed to the coast with all the people looking at the cliffs. it was lovely on a calm day

As a child the vehicle turn table was fun when turned on, she was great on the IOW run.

odd that they painted over all that surface rust.

WHY no record of sailing on the Forth Firth round the Bass Rock In Scotland WHY??????

Strict new regulations for operating historic ships? If they thought it was to their political advantage to do the opposite, they would. This is about the inexorable march of ever greater government control and power over every facet of life.

I’m so glad that all these volunteers are keeping the Balmoral shipshape, what would be great and economical is if the engines were converted to marine diesel hybrid engines.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

Its great to see a happy story about a beautiful old ship for a change.

Very nice documentary of a lovely old ship, 7 years younger than myself. I'm sure the Royal Family would come to the fore with financial support, if approached? Robert. NZ.

Problems caused by unelected officials on a power trip. 🤮🤮🤧👺

She is Elegant!

Hi. It is great to see the old lady still sailing , last seen sailing along the Jurassic Coast passed Old HARRY , When out on our rib . Fair winds and passengers .

Why no mention of sailing past Old Harry Rocks at 40:56?

I like the red / black funnel look,why is it white?
