A fishing ship, Tecla, built in the Netherlands in 1915, seen on 25 August 2015, so 100 years old. Now sailing as an adventure/sail training ship. Shot on the River Thames between Tilbury and Gravesend, it is not unusual to see sailing ships on the Thames but it is rare to see them under sail. Like most older ships, Tecla has an engine fitted. Three sails are up, off white in colour. It has two masts. The ship's hull is white with black below.
