Svitzer tugs Harty, London and Ganges on the River Thames, just east of Gravesend. Intrepid was just ahead of Harty, but out of picture. I failed to catch all four in one frame...
The Harty House an example of the two family stone houses that housed employees of the Long Pond Iron Works.
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.

Hasted also records the existence of the ferry across The Swale to Oare on the mainland.[7] The old ferry is reflected in the name of the adjacent Inn. The rights to the ferry were, and still are, held by the landlord of the Ferry House Inn.[13] The southern, mainland, terminus was close to the villages of Oare and Uplees. Today the remains of the southern jetty are on the coast of the Oare Marshes nature reserve
The Swale at Harty Ferry...A magical place, even if you are not a bird watcher!! of Oare Marshes Nature Reserve..Oare Marshes Nature reserve consists of a flat expanse of fresh and brackish water and marshland lying alongside the river Swale, which connects the Medway and Thames and isolates the Isle of Sheppy.
It is a magical place, steeped in history and wildlife.
Harty ferry, where the car park is, was once a crossing point to Sheppy, with moorings for Thames barges, fishing (and oyster) boats and pleasure craft.

Harty Ferry, Oare, Faversham.....flippin cold and very exposed, it brought to mind Charles Dickens novel 'Great expectations'
another image that floats better on black.
Under brooding skies moored against the jetties two boat from the past on Faversham Creek. The Willow of Harty.
The actual end of the 3 Marsh walk but we have to walk home now, through the lovely village of Oare. Its been an epic walk and the weather stayed well for most. Message to self, "when Phoebe says she wants to go for a short walk, take with a bucket os salt!"
Was taken during Storm Doris. It was so windy im surprised that this 4 min long exposure was still sharp after all the wind that was battering my tripod.
Seems like I failed to make about a dozen shots I took in the autumn public; and so here is a blast of colour from when the weather was about as warm as it is today!
This is a common hawker I spied on the Ise of Harty; I have posted shots of it before, but nothing wrong with another one, is there?

I am having trouble deciding which one of these three is a keeper...so the one with the most comments stays... and if there are no comments...well...I will sleep on it...and make a decision...no worries :) Have a nice weekend!
2/13 Thank you so much for your help...one deleted...but I'm going to keep the two :)

SVITZER HARTY
might seem ‘twee’ and perhaps insignificant against the towering MSC VIRTUOSA, but she certainly packs a punch as well as being important when it comes to harbour work, where would we be without the humble Harbour Tug?

The Willow, a two masted Baltic ketch now under raps, unfortunately The Willow of Harty has been like this for some time, we hope we shall see her in full splender at the next tall ships.....
Seeing young Leon Harty's prize-winning photo of the Menai Suspension Bridge - www.flickr.com/photos/jonathen/2717449955/ - inspired me to go back and have a look at some of my shots of that same bridge. This is one I've re-worked with the help of Phtomatix. Thanks Leon for the inspiration!
