Thames excursion paddle steamer the ‘Koh-I-Noor’ isw seen at Prince of Wales Pier c1910. The ‘Koh-I-Noor’ called there about four times a week between 3pm and 4pm once the Prince of Wales Pier was opened in 1903 and continued to do so till 1914 on a route that ran Tilbury-Southend-Margate-Ramsgate-Deal-Dover and back to Tilbury. ‘Koh-I-Noor’ was due to have new boilers fitted just before the outbreak of WW1, but in the event this did not happen and after sailing back to her builders for the work to be done, she was laid up for the duration and never again entered service, being cut up at
Morecambe in 1919.
