About this event
This year’s Canalway Cavalcade dispersal cruise from Little Venice over 6th and 7th May is planned to be on the Thames tideway from Limehouse downriver through the Thames Barrier to Margaretness and then back upstream to the King George V dock adjacent to the old Harland & Wolff works, in company with a flotilla of historic narrowboats.
The aim will be to celebrate all the boats built by Harland & Wolff, since 2026 is the 90th anniversary of the fleet built in 1936. It will be one of the first occasions this number of boats has returned to the place they were built, and a momentous opportunity to celebrate the longevity and quality of the build work and the dedication of the owners to maintaining and restoring them.
After leaving the King George V dock, the boats will cruise upriver, passing the Palace of Westminster on their way to Brentford and Teddington.
