River Thames: Svitzer Harty

Taken on 4 May 2018 and uploaded 21 January 2025.

 

I rarely remember taking the stuff I'm uploading here, but I do remember this: standing on the south bank of the River Thames east of Gravesend on a very, very bright day, 4 tugs approaching - two sailing down river, close to each other, and two sailing up river, also close together. I managed to get a decent shot of 3 of them in one frame but not all four. Disappointing.

Anyway, here is Svitzer Harty sailing down the River Thames in the wake of Svitzer Intrepid. Somebody, somewhere will know if there are more pylons in Kent than in Essex.

 

It was a bright (bright), bright (bright) sun shiny day.

 

Svitzer Harty was built in 2006 by Damen in the Netherlands and now works at Immingham, on the Humber Estuary.
