About 1950 my mum and dad took me and my two brothers for a day trip on the Medway Queen. We sailed from Southend Pier to one of the Medway ports – I can’t remember which one.
Last Saturday I visited the Medway Queen at Gillingham where the ship has been saved from the scrapyard and is being restored by volunteers of the Medway Queen Preservation Society. I wonder if anyone else remembers sailing on the Medway Queen?

Hi Lin,
Nice photo of you on the Medway Queen, good to see you got over to visit the paddle steamer over at Gillingham. I remember a trip on her from Southend to Clacton think it must have been in the late 50s.
