Shipping on the Thames and the Port of London During the 1940s 1980s by Malcolm Batten
Thames in Transition -the changing nature of the Docks and the ships that served them in the 1970s-1980s How and why the Docks adapted to changed cargo handling methods Historical scenes of the River from the 1940s-1960s Most photographs previously unpublished and can never be re-captured
Reg Batten was born in 1914 and lived in East London's Dockland, where his father was a boilermaker working in the Royal Docks. With a lifetime interest in shipping, after retirement he spent much of 1976 to 1983 recording the scene around the Royal Docks and Tilbury as cargo handling methods changed and the docks adapted, until the final closure of the Royals'. His son, Malcolm Batten has inherited an interest in shipping and has had two books published about modern Thames shipping in the 21st Century.
