A Metropolitan Police Boat on the River Thames: Guarding the Heart of London since 1894 This historic photograph captures a Metropolitan Police steam boat patrolling the River Thames in the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Police Force, often referred to as the "Met," was established in 1829 to maintain law and order in the growing city of London. The river was a vital transportation route and a popular recreational area, making it essential for the Met to maintain a strong presence on the water. The crew of this particular boat, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen here preparing for their duties. The boat, with its tall funnel and powerful engine, was an important tool in the Met's arsenal for patrolling the river and ensuring the safety of its residents and visitors. The division's boats were responsible for enforcing regulations, preventing crime, and providing assistance to those in distress on the water. The Metropolitan Police Force on the River Thames has a rich history, with the first recorded use of police boats dating back to 1839. By the late 1800s, the force had a fleet of over 30 boats, making it one of the largest river police forces in the world. The boats were an essential part of the Met's authority, symbolizing their commitment to protecting the people of London and maintaining order on the city's waterways. This photograph, taken in 1894, offers a glimpse into the past of the Metropolitan Police Force and their vital role on the River Thames. The boat, with its powerful engine and determined crew, stands as a testament to the force's long history of guarding and protecting the heart of London.
