The world's oldest operational cruise ship 'CMV Astoria' seen being towed down the Thames at midday on December 5 after several months lay up in Tilbury due to the coronavirus. An earlier attempt to tow her away last month had to be aborted due to steering problems.

The ship built in 1948 is now headed to Lisbon, and her future remains unclear.

Seen passing modern containership 'Cap San Antonio' at the start of the footage, and passing the masts of the shipwreck SS Richard Montgomery at the end of the footage.
