The Princess Alice left London at about 10am on a clear day to ferry sightseersfirst to Gravesend, where many alighted to visit the popular Kent Zoologicaland Botanical Gardens Institution, better known as Rosherville pleasure gardens, designed over 6.9ka in a disused chalk pit. Other passengers continued to sandybeaches on the Thames estuary north of Sheerness, on the Isle of Sheppey in North Kent.

The Princess Alice left Gravesend just after 6pm for the return “Moonlight Trip”of about 20km along a winding section of the Thames to Swan Pier, near London Bridge,first stopping at North Woolwich Pier. The tide was running out as the Princess Alicepassed drab Thames flatlands around Beckton Gasworks at Gallions Reach, the biggest bendin the section. To defeat the tide the Princess Alice, hugged the south bank of the Thames.When within sight of Woolwich Pier, she swung north and was midstream, off BecktonGasworks, when the Bywell Castle hit. 640 passengers lost their lives.

The Three Daws earlier name was the Cornish Chough (1488 1707), and later The Three Cornish Choughs (1707 1778).

Its name seems to have been associated with pilgrims crossing the river on their way to the shrine of St Thomas.

The Three Cornish Choughs appearing in the coat of arms of Canterbury City. A reference to it as The Three Daws appears in the Gravesend register of 1667.
