River Thames: Morning Cornet & CPO France

            Taken on 28 September 2014 and uploaded 29 September 2024.

Depending on where you are on the River Thames it is wider (or narrower) and can seem more or less wide depending on which way you look...something like that. Up river, at Northfleet, for example, the distance between shores is as little as 500m, while between where I was when I took this (Higham Creek) and Coalhouse Point across the river is about 2000m.
Here, two big ships, the vehicle carrier Morning Cornet and CPO France, are sailing down and up the river, in what is probably a fairly narrow channel, but it looks grandly wide and open...on the right of the image is Gravesend. I won't attempt a meteorological explanation of the blue tint to the river and sky...

Morning Cornet was built by Hyundai in South Korea in 2007 and is 199.98 metres long and currently sailing from Tacoma, USA to Ulsan, South Korea.
CPO France now sails as Aura Maris and seems to have been known as Huey between times: it was built in 2008, but I don't know where: it's 184 metres long. and recently arrived in Vladivostok, Russia, from Zhoushan, China.
