River Thames at Tilbury by W.L. Wylie

Sagafjord alongside the Tilbury Landing Stage in a rain storm.

Formerly Sagafjord, alongside the Tilbury Landing Stage.

Gripsholm in name but Sagafjord in reality. The brief period after Cunard had disposed of the ship when she sailed for Transocean and prior to becoming Saga Rose. A most unfortunate livery, which would not have suited any ship.

The beautiful former Kungsholm as the Hapag flagship Europa. Whilst I did not dislike this livery she certainly looked better in the sober NDL colours.

Long ago, when she was virtually still a new ship. Departing from Tilbury.

Gripsholm was, possibly, even more beautiful than Kungsholm.....??

Gripsholm on her final visit to London, she was on a long cruise from New York but the days of Swedish American Line were soon to end, sadly.

Alongside the Tilbury Landing Stage during one of her long Northern Europe cruises from New York.

The P&O Liners Strathmore and Iberia are seen tied up in Tilbury Docks in 1962. The view from the new lock gives an indication of the massive expanse of water available to shipping and which enabled the further expansion to take place.

Michelangelo alongside the Tilbury Landing Stage during her one and only cruise to northern Europe.

The Soviet ship is part of a film set on Tilbury's Landing stage...note a member of the cast on the right! Does anyone recall the name of the film...?
