Shipping on the Thames and the Port of London During the 1940s–1980s

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

This collection of historic photographs, most of them previously unpublished, captures London’s Docklands during a period of transition when containerization drove shipping downriver to Tilbury. They depict cargo vessels, tankers, colliers, tugs and barges, as well as passenger ships and ferries, amid the cranes, wharfs and moorings. Period maps show the extent of the docks in their heyday.
