A 1970s colour photo of the passenger vessel “Abercorn” moored at the landing stage on the River Thames at Hampton Court during the latter half of the 20th century. The white river cruiser, featuring a dark blue canvas awning and matching side cloths adorned with white lifebuoys, is seen in 1976 with its “Licensed Saloon All Catering Facilities” sign prominently displayed. On the stone-paved quay, passengers in mid-seventies attire, including a woman in flared denim jeans and another in a striped knit cardigan, wait with their vintage suitcases near the water’s edge. The lush green banks of the Thames and the bridge at Hampton Court are visible in the background, capturing a classic scene of leisure and river travel from the era. These pleasure steamers have a long-standing history of transporting day-trippers from central London to the historic site of Hampton Court Palace, particularly during the summer months.
