The PS Waverley

...paddling alongside the pier at Southend, as she was about to become my transport up the Thames to Tower Bridge pier.

The PS Waverley was built in 1946 and named after Sir Walter Scott's first novel.
She is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world!

Many thanks for your recognition, Keith. All your thoughtful comments have helped me reach that mini goal.
I also think it has a kind of vintage look about it, particularly when viewed large.
The whole experience of seeing and travelling on the Waverley was well worth it, including me staggering the full length of Southend pier.
