Waverley is the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world and we see her engine room as she departs Penarth Pier on 4th September 2018.
Note that the Stephenson's link at the bottom left and how it is controlled by the engineer..
Up is forward, down is reverse and between is mid-gear for when the ship is stationary.
In this case, I would guess that reverse was used to assist casting off in the estuary current.

I recorded this 5 years ago but didn't think anyone would be interested. There are still pictures of the engine here: www.internationalsteam.co.uk/uk/waverley2018.htm

@@internationalsteam Yes, I have been distracted listening to beautiful music, but I very much look forward to your regular postings very early saturday morning here, and I have rewatched your long footage on the steam powered rice and sugar mills many times. As a student of machine technology and something of a luddite, I would prefer to watch machinery grinding along to any recent televised programming whatsoever, and I hope you never run out of things to post, even if they are just a couple minutes long... Cheers and Thank You!
