The pub was called the "Shipwrights
Arms" and changed name between 1867 and 1871.
Brian Brockie suggests this was also called the "Three Mariners" or the
"Shipwright’s Arms." This was present in 1872.
At present I haven't seen evidence at all of a "Three
Mariners" in Gravesend yet, but when I do it'll be added to the page.

From the Gravesend Reporter, North Kent and South East Advertiser, Saturday 4 August, 1877.
Elizabeth Surman was charged on summons with assaulting Henry
Warner; she was further charged with using obscene language in West
Street.
The defendant admitted both offences.
Warner said the assault was committed on the night of the 24th,
about five minutes to eleven, when he was assisting the landlord of
the "Royal Exchange" to clear the people out of the house, and she
struck him in the eye.
Mr. Joseph McCormack, the landlord, gave corroborative evidence.
For the defence, Mary White said the complainant struck the first
blow.
P.S. Goodwin said that shortly before eleven o'clock his attention
was called to defendant, who was in front of the "Royal Exchange,"
West Street, on the evening in question, when she was making use of
the most foul language.
She was fined 5s. and costs for the assault, and 10s. 6d. including
costs for using obscene language, in default of payment, fourteen
days' imprisonment in each case.
