River Thames: Yasam Rose & a big red container ship

Taken on 21 July 2018 and uploaded 15 January 2025.

 

Yasam Rose was a 'general cargo' ship, often moored on the river at Shorne Marshes, just down from Denton, Gravesend. It and its 'sister' ship, Polla Rose, would carry cargoes (aggregates ?) into London. Here, it is still moored at Shorne Marshes and rather larger ship, Polar Brasil, is passing, as it departs Tilbury Docks.

 

Yasam Rose was 58.3 metres in length, Polar Brasil 230 metres. Yasam Rose last reported sailing as Harper Trader and off Tanzania, Polar Brasil on the Panama Canal.
