I might have mentioned before how much I enjoy using the Thames Clipper Riverbus to get around in London. The views are always fantastic and sometimes you get a special treat, such as earlier this week when looked to starboard and saw us passing the Stad Amsterdam (City of Amsterdam).
This is a three-masted clipper that was built in the city of that name in 2000, and it is currently visiting London.
What a great sight!

Nice pic! I recognise that fort in the background
...I was very happy with it, it almost looks Napoleonic, or Victorian.. :o)
Would have liked a little more wind as she had the sails out but was clearly under motor as it was a fairly flat day... another one from the same day...

It's not often the tall ships properly sail on the Thames but it can be impressive when they do:
