FERRIES IN THE 50s

"Londres" and "Brighton"
By John Quinton

These were taken by my father in the early fifties. The view of "Londres" seems to have been taken from a pleasure steamer.

There is a second, smaller, vessel in the picture of the "Brighton" but the name is not legible. Perhaps someone can identify it.

That steamer is the "Worthing", which dates this photo between 1950 and 1955. I'll try to identify the pleasure steamer in the first photo later - Andy, Editor.

It may be the "John McLeod" as I have other photos of this. I think we went on a trip to Beachy Head on it.

It is certainly an ex-ML.

I spent yesterday afternoon at the Museum looking for a photo of this small pleasure craft, with no luck. If you can send in a photo, John, we can add it to the page.
