Geocache Description:

Possible cache and dash, with limited parking near the cache.

In Victorian times Greenhithe was a popular resort within easy reach of London by pleasure craft or railway. In 1842 Greenhithe Pier was built. Pleasure steamers called here carrying passengers to Gravesend and to other coastal towns. It was said to have been, "one of the prettiest on the river". It cannot be claimed that Queen Elizabeth slept here but on 11th August 1863 it was reported that Queen Victoria did board the Royal Yacht "Victoria & Albert" which was moored off Greenhithe amid the eager applause of a gathering of young and old.
The Royal Thames Yacht Club held its sailing races off Greenhithe. The chairman of the Worcester Committee its Commodore with the White Hart Inn as its clubhouse, now the "Sir John Franklin".
The cache is a 35mm film cannister, containing a log sheet. A FTF badge and a Sayer Voyager's Compass Rose token.
