As you know, we are going on a river cruise on the Thames this afternoon. I would like to give you some information before we set off for central London. The Thames is the most famous river in England and is full of history. The river is tidal which means that if we travel with the flow of the water in the centre of the river we can go quite fast. For larger vessels, however, if they travel against the flow of the river, they may double their journey time. The level of water also changes according to the tides.

The Thames is also home to the Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities which takes place every spring. It is a very popular race with about a quarter of a million people watching from the banks of the river. The two teams race against each other by rowing their boats from Putney to Mortlake. However, they have to take into consideration how fast and rough the water is in the middle of the river. Sometimes you can go faster when you're not taking advantage of the centre current if it is too strong.

The Thames harbours some historic vessels. The one we're going to see today is a replica of the Golden Hind, a 16th century ship captained by Francis Drake. It is believed to be the first English ship to have sailed around the world, a remarkable feat considering how small the ship was. It was on this ship Francis Drake was knighted 'Sir Francis Drake' by Queen Elizabeth I.
