River Thames: Svitzer Cecilia and Valentine

            Taken on 9 June 2015 and uploaded 14 November 2024.

This will have been taken from the Tilbury landing stage...no longer accessible, sadly.

The tug, Svitzer Cecilia, sailing up Gravesend Reach while Cobelfret's to-ro (roll on roll off) cargo ship sails down: probably carrying Ford vehicles from Dagenham. Ford used to build vehicles at Dagenham but now builds engines, only. 10,980,368 vehicles were produced at Dagenham, over time: at its peak, the factory employed 40,000 (1953), now 2,000. (Numbers from Wikipedia).
Valentine was built in Japan in 1999 and sailed as Valentine until last year, when it was named Valentine 1, until July this year when it became Sea Caryatis and was painted red. It's now on its way from OPL Anchor (?) Malta, to Valletta.
Svitzer Cecilia was notable for a distinctive engine note and now sails on the Tyne.
