Laboe

Freya II (1)
. She was sold in 1988, and replaced by a similar looking
Freya II (2)
(the chartered
Kollund
). She was bought by the Lower Thames & Medway Passenger Boat Company and used on public sailings and charters from Gravesend to Greenwich, London and as far out as Southend. She was renamed
Princess Pocahontas
, after the native American who died in Gravesend and has a monument at the nearby St George's Church. On 6th March 2008,
