Gloriana and other classic boats

Yesterday's post of a fancy painted rudder was, as Tillerman correctly identified, that of the royal barge, Gloriana.

There were many other fancy and classic boats on display at St. Katharine Dock back in September as part of Totally Thames.

Tugs, yachts, barges and lots and lots of bunting.

I also had a good catch up with Alasdair of the Sumara of Weymouth blog with a stand for Arthur Beale, central London's specialist ship's chandler.
