This authentic 1950s colour photograph offers a scenic river view of the historic tea clipper Cutty Sark at its permanent home in Greenwich. Taken in 1959, the image is captured from the perspective of passengers aboard a Thames river boat, with the ship’s masts and rigging rising prominently above the Greenwich waterfront. In the foreground, passengers in mid-century attire—including a woman in a floral print dress and a man with binoculars—look out toward the shore, capturing the essence of a 1950s day out in London. The background features the iconic domes of the Old Royal Naval College and the bustling activity of the riverbank. This archival print is a beautiful record of London’s maritime culture and mid-century tourism, making it an ideal resource for historical research, editorial use, or to print for yourself as a unique gift for those who love Greenwich and the Thames.
