Also related to heritage and nostalgia, but just in this case of the water-bourne variety, here some information of sorts and of noteworthyness to all fans of paddle steamers, especially also in regard to the massive fleet of 9 steamers in Dresden, Germany.
The shipping company there will interestingly enough be steaming one of its proud side-wheel vessels and the flagship PS "Dresden" to Usti nad Labem (Czech Republic) for the first time in more than 2 decades at least. For all members of PSPS or all fans of the "Waverley" and the "Kingswear Castle", the following attachment is probably worth a look. There is also the official announcement on the website of the Sächsische Dampfschiffahrt, on the link below, though the PDF says more.
