Holland America’s Prinsendam (1988, 38,000gt, 793 pax) was scheduled to arrive in Greenwich on the 22nd of August. While in port, ships need to take on water. However, because the Greenwich mooring is in the middle of the River Thames, water has to be delivered by barge. Unfortunately the port of London’s only water barge was out of action. So instead, the Prinsendam was an unexpected visitor to Tilbury’s cruise terminal, which has fresh water on tap. Above is my image at Tilbury.
