The Royal Daffodil

A Memory of Gravesend.

I can still remember waiting on this pier for the 'Royal Daffodil'  or the 'Royal Sovereign' during my childhood, for our day trip up the river. We would do this trip regularly whilst on holiday with my Grandparents in Northfleet. It was one of my favourite days out. Julia (Weekes)

As a schoolboy my pal terry barnden and I worked on the daffodil throughout the summer holidays. They were very long days, up at five to carry stores aboard and then get your bar or salon ready for passengers. We didn't finish till after 10 at night most days, but I do believe it gave me the work ethic I still have to this day, 67 and still in full time manual work.
