2012 marks the 80th anniversary of the entry into service of the famous River Thames paddle steamer Royal Eagle. Built on the River Mersey by Cammell Laird, the Royal Eagle arrived on the Thames in May 1932. She certainly had some very fine facilities and some of these are shown above. Particularly impressive was the extensive Observation Lounge. It had a large number of Lloyd Loom chairs and tables. Dancing was sometimes held in this fine saloon. A delightful half-timbered Cocktail Bar is also shown and it gave a period feel to what was a very modern steamer for the time. All of these facilities were of course under the command of the famous Captain William Branthwaite. Bill is shown here along with some young ladies on the bridge of his steamer around the time of her entry into service. Royal Eagle was certainly a splendid paddle steamer.
