A captivating photograph from the annals of London's maritime history, this image showcases a tug boat skillfully making its way under the newly re-opened Southwark Bridge on the Thames River in 1921. The bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, stands proudly in the foreground, its arches framing the industrious tug boat. In the background, the iconic silhouette of St. Paul's Cathedral adds an air of historical significance to the scene. The early 1920s was an era of transformation for London's waterways, with steam-powered tugs and boats playing a crucial role in the transportation of goods and people. This photograph encapsulates the essence of this period, highlighting the harmony between the modern infrastructure and the traditional maritime practices. The Thames River, a vital artery of London's past and present, is a testament to the city's rich history and its enduring connection to the water.

This evocative photograph, taken in 1921, offers a glimpse into London's maritime past and serves as a tribute to the city's enduring relationship with the Thames River.
