- Summary:
- Guest curator Starkey's text was produced to accompany an exhibition by the same name, held at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, from April to September 2012, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Museum and as a contribution to the events in recognition of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. Together, the exhibit and catalog explore the many roles the River Thames has played in royal, national and civic ceremony and celebration, as well as its everyday role as a working river. The catalog features full-color photographs of the 240-plus objects from the exhibit with detailed explanatory captions, and seven essays by ten leading scholars exploring key themes in depth.
