On a recent trip to Ramsgate, I headed toward the excellent Peters Fish Factory for tea, and what should be on the slipway opposite? Famous paddle steamer Medway Queen.
Obviously I couldn't resist taking a few photos - you don't see ships like this very often round my way! Medway Queen is well known to reailway modellers, as the preservation society often have stands at show raising money to keep her afloat.
Find out more at the Medway Queen Preservation Society website.
I was a Chef on Her when She was on the Isle of Wight in the 1970's
ReplyDeletegreat memories and I have some Medway Queen wagons and a piece of the old decking.
