Waverley at Tilbury

On Sunday 1st October, Waverley sailed from Tower Pier direct to Southend and then did a return via Tilbury to Tower Pier and back. I photographed Waverley arriving at Tilbury from Southend from Tilbury Fort.

Waverley at Tilbury & Grays
Thursday 5th October 2006
 
Waverley sailed from Southwold to Tower Pier on Wednesday 4th October. Despite being keen to photograph her at Southwold, a poor weather forecast convinced me not to get up before dawn to drive to drive up. Likewise I did not go to Margate as I had planned, although the morning of Thursday 5th October started quite bright in Essex at least. Waverley sailed from Margate to Whitstable, Southend, Tilbury and Tower Pier, and I returned to Coalhouse Point to see her pass. The weather deteriorated considerably before her arrival, but the rain lessened slightly as she passed. I then chased her to Tilbury Riverside and Grays Beach.

Waverley at Greenhythe & Tilbury
Saturday 7th October 2006
 
Waverley sailed from Tower Pier to Southend and the Thames forts on Friday 6th October. The weather was poor so I did not venture out. It brightened for Saturday morning when Waverley sailed from Tower Pier to Harwich for an Orwell Cruise. I drove across the Thames to Greenhythe to photograph her under the QE2 Bridge at Dartford, and then chased her to to Gravesend to just catch her arrival at Tilbury. An attempt to beat her to Cliffe Fort (directly opposite Coalhouse Point) failed, since it is a 20 minute hike to reach the river from the nearest road. I should have skipped Tilbury, but probably would still have missed her since I got lost a couple of times on the Kent country lanes. I know where to go for next year though...

Waverley at Harwich
Sunday 8th October 2006
 
Waverley's last trip on the Thames was from Harwich on Sunday 8th October, when she sailed to Tower Pier via Clacton and Tilbury, with a return as far as Tilbury. Ipswich passengers were also bussed to Harwich. I photographed her leaving Harwich on another glorious morning.
