The Corporation Loading Jetty and the Gas,Light, & Coke Company's Loading Jetty - both of which had dryingout grids to enable below-the-waterline work to be done on the hulls of local boats between tides. Both the jetties and hardstands have long been demolished. Report as Inappropriate	bargee1937	Saturday 27th of June 2015 11:15:24 AM

This is the 75ft-long "New Prince Of Wales I" owned by Messrs. A.E.Brand & W.H.Wilson, T/as the Southend Motor Navigation Co. Built by the local Boatbuilders Hayward in the early 1920's, and powered by twin 75hp. Parsons petrol/paraffin engines. A "Dunkirk little ship", listed in Collier's 1961 book "The sands of Dunkirk", with subsequent War service listed in ADM208/3 as an inshore Minesweeper in the London Flotilla of the RN's Nore Division.If any reader has more information about this little vessel, please contact the writer on Report as Inappropriate	bargee1937	Saturday 27th of June 2015 11:07:54 AM
TSMV "Dreadnought", built Johnson & Jago, 1936 for J. Polkinghorn. May have been a Dunkirk little ship though neither Collier's nor Plummer's exhaustive Dunkirk Evacuation books mention this particular "Dreadnought" - there being two others with post-nominal numbers, both listed as "sunk-of-the-beaches".
