The two exhibits are above are included in the National Maritime Museum's current exhibition, 'Royal River: Power, Pageantry and the Thames.'

HMS Ocean Open Day

The Navy's biggest vessel welcomed visitors on board today to take a look around.

By the time the Open Day got under way at ten o'clock, a queue along the river front already stretched nearly as far as the Trafalgar Tavern.

Visitors boarded City Cruises's Princess Rose at Greenwich Pier and were taken across to board HMS Ocean.

Daily Photo: 21/04/2012 – Cable car gondolas hang above the Thames

April 21, 2012 By Rob Powell

The Emirates Airline cable car took a step closer to completion yesterday as moving cable car gondolas were sighted for the first time.

These pictures were taken today for Greenwich.co.uk by Daren when more test runs were being carried out using one full gondola and two skeleton gondolas.

Here's a video that was posted to YouTube by user 'wye001'.

Thalassa in Greenwich

Thalassa is one of the tall ships that will take part in the Sail Royal Greenwich hospitality event this summer. Thalassa, a 47-metre long vessel, is currently being used as a training ship in preparation for the event and can be seen on the river most week days until the end of March.

While I went to Island Gardens to photograph her today, Stu Mayhew was in Greenwich Park and caught the moment (above) the three-mast tall ship went past the Old Royal Naval College.

It was a nice to day to head out with the camera, which is exactly what Daren did. His timing was particularly fortuitous because Hnlms Holland - Dutch patrol vessel - was just arriving in Greenwich. On board, apparently, was Crown Prince Willem-Alexander bearing ornaments to presented to the National Maritime Museum for its Royal River exhibition that opens in April.

River Thames at Greenwich

Photograph of Greenwich I took from Island Gardens recently. I was waiting to get a double decker bus dead centre with the Queen's House behind it, and mis-timed it as you can see above!

Daily Photo: 08/09/2011 – Clipper aground

September 8, 2011 By Rob Powell

Local photographer Tim Keeler sent me this snap of one of the Thames Clippers aground, near the O2 last week.

The boat was deliberately placed there by Thames Clippers so routine maintenance could be carried out once the tide was out.

Tim saw another boat in the same spot, presumably for the same purpose, when he went back a few days later.

Daily Photo: 19/05/2011 – Amandine

May 19, 2011 By Rob Powell

Thanks to Fergus Noone for today's Daily Photo - a beautiful photo of Cobelfret's new container ship, the Amandine. She headed back out to sea today after a two day stop off.

Don't miss Fergus' column on the website today where he explains some of the functions on compact digital cameras. I've also heard that he's giving away a signed print to anyone that 'Likes' his new Facebook page - the deadline for the offer is the 31st May so don't hang about!

I also received this photo of the ship, which reprises the name of a former Cobelfret ferry, from Alan - many thanks!
