A Blast from the Past: The Majestic Medway Queen Arrives at Sheerness-on-Sea, Kent, Circa 1950 This evocative photograph captures the moment the historic paddle steamer Medway Queen glides into the picturesque harbor of Sheerness-on-Sea, Kent, in the 1950s. The Medway Queen, a beautiful example of a bygone era, stands proudly against the backdrop of the English Channel, her distinctive funnels billowing smoke as she comes to a gentle halt.
