Site: Havengore (2 memorials)
E1, Hermitage Moorings, Havengore
Back in 2022 Matt Brown of Londonist kindly sent us 2 plaques he garnered while Open House visiting the MY Havengore.
The yacht was commissioned in 1954 by the Port of London Authority (PLA) and launched in 1956 as the PLA's hydrographic survey vessel (keeping an eye on the water bed).
In 1995 the yacht was withdrawn from service, sold and re-registered as a passenger vessel for up to 40 passengers, which have since proved to be often from the upper crust. As well as the events commemorated by these plaques, Havengore has participated in the Queen's Silver Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee flotillas.
The Havengore is normally moored to the south-east of Hermitage Moorings near St Katharine Docks.
