Down the Thames to Greenwich

I took a ferry downriver, travelling deck class.

Past Tower Bridge, holding in its arms has The Shard (Europe's tallest building pending an effort by the French)

Past the building from which John Cleese hung naked, in A Fish Called Wanda

And so to Greenwich and the Cutty Sark

whose bow has a fine entry

and much the same technology as the tall ship James Craig (they were built just five years apart). The main difference is in the colossal amount of government support which Cutty Sark receives--apart from the tiny fact that James Craig actually sails,
-

while Cutty Sark rests on her bed of glass.

Who needs the seaside when you have a Thames beach?
