Great boat, I am sure though that this is one of thousands of similar photographs of it. Whilst we were there I saw several people take pictures.

We recently travelled by boat from Tillbury to Greenwich . I was interested to hear the guide say that the 'Pluto Pipe' (see this ) was made in a factory he pointed out, on the Gravesend side. I think he said the factory was ' A I Henley's', I saw a section of the pipe at the excellent D Day museum in Portsmouth (here) .
