River Thames shipping since 2000 : passenger ships, ferries, heritage shipping and more
Batten, Malcolm2020
Books
Where once the banks of the River Thames were lined with riverside wharves, these have been replaced by or converted to luxury apartments. The mighty London Docks, including the 'Royals', once the largest expanse of enclosed dockland in the world, had all closed by 1983 and have since been redeveloped as Docklands, with a financial centre, London City Airport, the University of East London, houses, shopping and other amenities. But the commercial life of the river didn't die - it just moved downriver. This book features passenger craft such as cruise ships, ferries and heritage shipping that have worked on the Thames since 2000.
