This coming Thursday, a replica of 18th century Square Rigger, The Zong – an infamous slave ship will moor near Tower Bridge and remain there for 10 days.
According to the MoD website, it will go through Tower Bridge at 10:45am and will be accompanied by HMS Northumberland.
Should be quite a sight as it goes under the Bridge, and I shall dutifully race along on Thursday morning to get some photos.
I am tempted to risk taking the river taxi and see if we can zoom past the sailing ship and get some really good close up photos, but if the taxi gets held back, I would lose all the photo opportunities. Might try that as the ship leaves in a couple of weeks time though.
SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
Thank you
