EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the vintage charm of the River Thames at Woolwich, SE London, in the 1930s. The image showcases the tugboat named Lizard, skillfully attached to a row of barges, ready for a journey up or downstream. The tug's distinctive funnel, adorned with intricate patterns and puffs of smoke, adds an element of excitement and industry to the serene water scene. The Lizard, a powerful and versatile vessel, was an essential part of the Thames' transportation network during this era. Barges, which could carry large quantities of goods, were an economical and efficient means of moving heavy cargo around the city. Tugs like the Lizard were indispensable in maneuvering these barges through the river's busy waters, ensuring the smooth flow of commerce and trade. The 1930s, a time of transformation and progress, is beautifully encapsulated in this image. The tug Lizard, with its robust design and distinctive character, embodies the spirit of this era. The tranquil yet industrious atmosphere of the River Thames at Woolwich is a testament to the rich maritime history of London and the vital role that water transport played in the city's development.
