A view of the paddle steamer 'Queen of the South' heading upstream in the Pool of London in 1966, with London Bridge in the background and, beyond, Bankside Power Station (now Tate Modern). This vessel was originally built in1931 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) as the 'Jeanie Deans' and operated on the Clyde until 1965 when she was sold on 29th September to the Coastal Steam Packet Co. She left for the Medway on 14th November. In 1966, refitted, repainted in her original LNER livery and renamed, she did eight trips on the Tower Pier–Southend–Clacton and Herne Bay route before suffering engine failure on 6th August that year. This led to her being laid up and then broken up in 1967. This painting was previously misidentified as showing the 'Medway Queen', but that had only a single funnel.
