MV Havengore : ウィキペディア英語版 | MV Havengore
''Havengore'' is a former hydrographic survey launch, originally launched in 1956 for service with the Port of London Authority (PLA). After her withdrawal from service and sale in 1995, she was re-registered as a passenger vessel for up to 40 passengers. Based on the River Thames, ''Havengore'' has also served as a ceremonial vessel. She is best known for her carrying the body of Sir Winston Churchill as part of his State Funeral. ''Havengore'' was named after Havengore Island, a low-lying marshy island off the coast of Essex. The derivation of the word Havengore is Old English, 'haefen' meaning an anchorage and 'gor' meaning muddy. The adjoining Havengore Creek marked the northern end of the PLA's jurisdiction prior to 1964, when it was extended to include the whole of the Thames Estuary. By convention many PLA vessels are named after features of the River Thames, and an earlier PLA vessel, the SY ''Havengore'', had carried the same name. She was a small steam yacht, launched in 1910, that performed the role of a patrol vessel, operating from Barking to the outer port limits, until she was broken up in the 1940s. ==History==
