SEVENTY years ago in June 1948 at Tilbury the steamship Empire Windrush landed some 500 hopeful settlers from Kingston, Jamaica.
This week Tilbury, now one of London’s busiest docks, welcomed yet another exotic visitor.
A large white whale, an Arctic beluga, was seen feeding around barges on the Thames between Gravesend and Tilbury. After the whale was spotted by an early morning bird watcher, experts soon decided that the white body, absence of dorsal fin and bulbous forehead indicated that it was a beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas).
