Launched, the UK’s first electric tour boat enters the water at Pendennis
The UKs first electric tour boat, named the Silver Raven to celebrate her full time role partnering the Tower of London, has entered the water at Pendennis Shipyard in Cornwall.
The Tower of London River Tour tickets also went on sale for mid-September dates via the dedicated website https://lnkd.in/eyw6sYDp
The aluminium Tower of London River Tour vessel design draws from a huge breadth of experience and history to launch the new Woods Tours brand developing a world-leading, all-electric luxury sightseeing fleet.
Silver Raven’s design and power profiling is by VULKAN UK with an EST Floattech Octopus Series battery bank which will be rapid-charged between each tour from a two-megawatt shore charging facility (sustainable energy sources).
The attention to detail will be apparent throughout the vessel’s design from clean, contemporary lines echoing the heyday of Thames River cruising during the 1920s and 30s with wide, awning-shaded decks, single deck panoramic views, bespoke wool woven carpet from Devon’s Axminster looms and Scottish leather seating.
