Thanks, stirred up some happy memories in 2021. Father retired from working on the tugs at Gravesend in late 80's, when they had proper tugs and not those Voith Schneider propelled craft. I jest, but I do prefer the older craft.
Hello m8 I went to the P/Nut school left in 78 still at sea. Shame there’s no decent shipping companies still going. Had a good life only 4 trips to go and I’m retiring.

Thanks for the tour Ted, the waterfront is always a place of interest, good to see such a variety of craft in your video.
I used to spend a lot of time on the prom in 1966/67. And used the Canal Tavern as my local watering hole every night of the week, great pub then.
Thanks Ted went too the Merchant Navy school at Graves End in the late 1980s, looks different now Ha Ha. Thanks for the show.

Has anyone got any photos of Crawley's water barges operating out of gravesend until the 70's ? My Grandfather started the business.
Just my little joke, I used to stand there myself.
