PS Medway Queen

Earlier I had spotted on the AIS that the tug Christine was coming round Lands End and when I got home from Penzance there she was - and I could see through the 'scope that she was towing the Paddle Steamer Medway Queen on her way back to her home port of Gillingham from Avonmouth
Jim took these two photos through the 'scope - such a pity we didn't get a better view of her.
Take a look at  Chris Jones blog  http://channelimages.blogspot.co.uk/
to see some super photos of her leaving Avonmouth

    Just after midnight and she's just South of Bridport and doing 6.2knots - so still going well - it's a long haul ! Sue

      She's just passed Eastbourne at around 17.30 - she's much closer to the shore now - out of the scary shipping lanes as she makes her way past Dover.
      Really great to see her - even though it was a distant view ! Sue

    Lovely! I have photos of my mother and my godmother on the Medway Queen when they were in their twenties - both were horribly sea sick from just being in the Thames estuary.

      Wow ! fancy that ! I think if your prone to sea-sickness then it can get you before you even leave the dock ! Such a pity as I bet it was a wonderful trip !
      Did you take a look at the Channel Images website - she looks much better on there ! Sue
