A ro ro (roll on roll off) cargo ship on its way up Gravesend Reach on the River Thames, heading for Dagenham, a few miles up river. As it's Dagenham the cars on board are probably Fords: Adeline has been and gone by now and is back at Vlissingen, Netherlands. It was built in Japan in 2012.
It seems Adeline is a EuroShip Services ship, now: I'd previously (10 years ago) seen it as a Cobelfret ship, but no more (?). I believe that, with the USA now gone completely mad, such money spinning enterprises as ship ownership will become ever more opaque. Oh, well.
Now, on to aesthetics: as I was uploading this I am listening to Radio 3 (one of the BBC's music channels, for non-UK readers) who were playing Prokoviev's 'Classical' symphony and relating some of the festering snobbery Prokoviev was subjected to: apparently he was molesting the 'classical purity' of Mozart with his grubby hands by writing such music. I began to wonder if, in 100 years, when consumer goods are either teleported down from Musk's Martian Manufactories or printed out using giant multi-function digital devices, we'll be getting all sentimental about the beauty of ships like this...
The Prokoviev was very enjoyable.

A ro ro (roll on roll off) cargo ship, Selandia Seaways, on its way down the River Thames after leaving Tilbury Docks...
It was built in Italy in 1998 and is currently on its way to Immingham from Cuxhaven, Germany. It's one of a good number of ships that spend their time sailing regular routes, back and forth, from/to the close European ports.
