Description
English: The paddle steamer 'Queen of the South' in the Pool of London, 1966

A view of the paddle steamer 'Queen of the South' heading upstream in the Pool of London in 1966, with London Bridge in the background and, beyond, Bankside Power Station (now Tate Modern). This vessel was originally built in1931 for the LNER as the 'Jeanie Deans' and operated on the Clyde until 1965 when she was sold on 29 September to the Coastal Steam Packet Co. She left for the Medway on 14 November. In 1966, refitted, repainted in her original LNER livery and renamed, she did eight trips on the Tower Pier-Southend-Clacton and Herne Bay route before suffering engine failure on 6 August that year. This led to her being laid up and then broken up in 1967.

This painting was previously misidentified (including in the Museums 'Concise Catalogue of Oil Paintings', 1986) as showing the 'Medway Queen', but that had only a single funnel. The Museum purchased it in 1968 from the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Marine Artists as by Captain R.E. Baker but currently (2012) has no other details on him.
