River Thames: Pilot cutter and dredger
Taken on 8 February 2017 and uploaded 21 December 2024.
A fairly routine view from the south bank of the River Thames, from Gravesend and looking towards Tilbury B power station.
The Port of London Authority's Pilot cutter, Patrol, built in 1982 in the UK, I think, and bought by the PLA in 1994. It underwent a refit in 1998.
The dredger, City Of London, was built in the UK in 1989 and has been refurbed as recently as September 2024 so should be in good nick.
Patrol is currently moored at the PLA's HQ at Gravesend, while City Of London is on its way from Middlesbrough to Tees Port on the River Tees.
The power station no longer exists.
