Eagle and Belle steamers were once a regular sight on the Thames. Pleasure sailings on the river started in the 1820s, almost with the first paddle steamers to ply their trade on the Thames. The advent of paid holidays for the masses saw a huge rise in the numbers of pleasure steamers and passengers using them, sailing from London to resorts on the Kent and Essex coasts, from Gravesend to Southend, from Frinton to Ramsgate and Margate. By the 1920s, the primary operators were the Belle and Eagle companies and the New Medway Steamship company. The 1920s and 1930s saw a boom in travel downriver but the 1950s saw the start of the decline that ended the businesses by the late 1960s. Andrew Gladwell, archivist of the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, takes us on a journey down the water, showing us the steamers that operated primarily from the Pool of London downriver.
