COMMENT THIS PHOTO(4)
An excellent photograph.
I remember sailing on her for a day excursion to Margate in the late 50's early 60's.
Also visitors to Southend pier in those days were the Royal Daffodil,Queen of the Channel and not forgetting the Medway Queen.
Happy days.

Many thanks for your comment, they certainly were the days, all those ships gave a great deal of pleasure to many people and at a reasonable cost as well.
Kind Regards,
