Thames Paddle Steamer KINGSWEAR CASTLE goes to London 1999

Enjoy a journey along the River Thames from my 1999 video archive aboard this authentic paddle steamer. Trust members working on her restoration always referred to the little ship as “KC”.

KC was built in Dartmouth, offered trips on the Dart, Medway, River Thames, was used by the US Navy in WW2, was based at Chatham and the Isle of Wight and now is preserved as part of the UK's National Historic Fleet of ships of "Pre-eminent National Significance".
