Located on the north bank of the River Thames opposite Gravesend,
with which there has been a ferry link for centuries, Tilbury
Landing Stage is a fine vantage point for viewing shipping passing
to and from upriver berths. Ever since it opened in 1930 it has
been the Port of London's main passenger terminal. For many years
it was the farewell point for thousands of migrants leaving Britain
for Australia. Later, as liner travel changed to cruising, it was
regularly used by Soviet-owned passenger ships. To meet the new
demands of cruising the passenger facility was upgraded and is now
known as the London Cruise Terminal, handling a number of cruise
ships each year. Geoff Lunn takes a photographic journey through
the history of Tilbury Landing Stage, describing the passenger
ships and various other ships that have berthed there and those
that have passed close by.
