Yesterday's "adventure", which can nowadays only be seen in a single place.

But what's unusual about that?
I think that its a paddle steamer?
Yup, the world's last ocean-going paddle steamer, PS Waverely.
Here's the nearest to TE:

very impressive room. I have pleasing videos; nothing hidden there.

There are two ways passengers can get past that "mind your head" obstacle: directly over it, or upstairs and outside.
You ought to be able to guess what passengers are climbing over. Note the blurred piston; the photo was 1/30s, so it isn't surprising.
Note the green walkway on the left; the engineers use that when oiling the engine. HSE? Wozzat? Passengers can't quite reach the moving parts; they would have to climb over the mahogany balustrade.
The lifeboat (from the station on the far right) came out to meet it (and guide it in?)

It isn't the first time I've been on the Waverley, but the 6hr trip was the longest. I wonder if I'll go on it again?
