Canary wharf?

 

I saw a couple of tall ships while walking with the misses down near the blue lift bridge. We were doing a Riverside walk so only saw them in the distance in West India Dock.

 

A couple of horrid megayachts behind them as well.

(That was today about 1pm)

[W+T]

awsome, just shows how tal thney really are

Blackwall and Rotherhithe tunnels are a nightmare at peak times. The victory of old boats over modern traffic flows in London is most impressive !!!

I reckon it's something to do with the Queens burfday.

 

Yes I travelled in by train to the smoke and alighted @ Canary Wharf today.

A very wise person once said to me - if you can't say anything nice about someone, best say nothing.

It's part of the new Lend Lease program. Obama sent it over in case Brexit passes and the predicted invasion happens. When you unfurl the mizzen sail there's big letters that say "This is all you get!"

 

Not that Obama wants to influence the vote or anything....

I thought they were crane jibs, not boat jibs.

I think she's called 'Eagle', and I had a model of her (a coastguard training vessel) in the early 60s while growing up in the States.

Built in 1936 for the Nazis as the Horst Wessal, but seized by the US as war reparations after the war.
