08/12/2023 14:18:55I remember "cruising" from London down the Thames to Southend and Margate one day - the ship must have been very new as I was only 9 or 10. We had come by train from Reading - my family and another family from Reading. It was a great thrill but I do not think we have any photographic record. I do remember Porpoises following in the wake of the ship and the only games us children could find were some miniature playing cards! It was a long and very thrilling day out!
