Heritage steam tug Portwey delighted onlookers today as she took to the river with passengers on board.
The 1920s built vessel is doing three days of scenic Thames trips, taking passengers from Masthouse Pier up to Tower Bridge, then back down to the Thames Barrier before turning to Masthouse.
The beautiful tug, built by Harland and Wolff on the Clyde, was captured on camera passing iconic London landmarks.
The scenic trips conclude on Sunday with Portwey due to return to her permanent berth in West India Docks following the final trip which begins at 13.00
