River Thames: Mor Ki Tarow

This smart little boat has been on the river for a little while now, this the first time I've seen it on the move.

I don't know whose it is, or its age, although it looks new ! There's a website for Bulldog Boats which identifies the model, so it's a fast crew vessel and made of plastic...well, HPDE (high density polyethylene). It's one of a number of vessels working on a cable being laid between Germany and the Isle of Grain, which is at the mouth of the Thames: Neuconnect Nearshore Cable Works. It's a "high voltage submarine cable" able to carry electricity to/from Wilhelmshaven.

According to www, Tarow may be a Cornish word but no hint as to its meaning...
