Is there another boat in the harbour called "and Mary" ?
(Sorry, a very old musical joke.)
 
I think the white balance is off in the first two,- they appear to have a green cast..
Is that David Dimbleby's "Rocket" in the third shot?

Actually Brian there is, :):) Its a small row boat/tender that's sometimes tied to the stern and used for getting from the main boat to the harbour edge or vice versa. And it is actually called "And Mary".

I don’t think it is still in use Brian ?
 
A couple more older photos from me.

This sculpture was in Spitalfields Market for a while in 2019. I haven't checked lately to see if it still is. Taken with my Sony A6000.

And here's an old low-light shot taken way back in 2007, with my first 'serious' camera - a Casio EX-Z700 compact.
