Thames Pleasure Steamers from 1945

By Andrew Gladwell

For generations of Londoners, a trip aboard a pleasure steamer to the seaside resorts of Kent and Essex was a traditional and essential part of summer life. By the 1930s sleek new motor ships, luxuriously appointed and reflecting the new age, were being introduced. This book takes a nostalgic look back at the last of the paddle steamers as well as the new pleasure steamers such as the Royal Daffodil, Royal Sovereign and Queen of the Channel.
