The steam powered "President" heads up river (with the other narrow boats) to their muster, as the human powered ones go downstream.

Another group of ex-lifeboats at their moorings - as they mustered for their section in the pagaent (at least one other ex-lifeboat was present, but as she was part of Operation Dynamo, she was included with the other 45 members of the ADLS.)

Two gigs from Porthmadog Rowing Club. **** and "Fleetwing"

Some of the "Dunkirk Little Ships" taking part in the Jubilee Pageant. . . The nearest white hulled vessel is one of the three yachts named "Bluebird" owned by Malcolm Campbell, now known as "Bluebird of Chelsea".

Two of the Lifeboats taking part in the Jubilee Pageant - Caister Independent and "Mary Gabriel" The latter is from the National Lifeboat Collection housed at the Chatham Dockyard Museum.

Fire Float "Pyronaut" from Bristol Harbour, built in 1934 by Charles Hill & Sons, Albion Docks, Bristol; even with the low air draft the helmsman has to lie on deck to pass under Prince Street swing bridge without the bridge having to be opened. She played a significant role in WW2 during the Bristol Blitz. After a long career she was sold off in 1973, and after several changes of owner and purpose, she was restored between 1989 and 1995 by Bristol Industrial Museum. Now berthed outside "M Shed Museum", Bristol - and she is part of the core collection of the National Historic Fleet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-float_Pyronaut
