Yacht Tavern 1890

Above photo, 1890, showing the "Yacht" right also showing the "Three Crowns" to the right of the "Conservative Club," and the "Crown and Sceptre."

Crown and Scetre and Yacht

Above photo is taken off Corbett’s boat yard at Greenwich. The pub on the left is probably "Three Crowns" and on the right the "Yacht." I believe the Curlew Rowing Club used the "Three Crowns" before moving to "Trafalgar Tavern."

Yacht painting

Above painting, I believe by Lian O'Farrell to look like 30's style.

Yacht Tavern 1923

Above painting, circa 1923, by Gerrish Fine Art.

Shown left is the ramshackle waterfront buildings of R. Moss & Sons, Crane Wharf, 11-13 Crane Street, East Greenwich, immediately east of the "Yacht" public house (formerly the "Yacht Hotel"), with the bow of what may be a Dutch sailing barge to the right. 'Moss's Wharf' appears on the riverfront wall of the central house, which has two upper floors of disintegrating Regency pattern iron railings: a sign reading '[P]HONE GREENWICH' is partly visible below, and on the left flank wall is the legend 'OLD ROPE & IRON BOUGHT FOR EXPORT'. A man, woman and a girl are visible on the ground-floor wharf level of the building with a pile of coiled 'junk' rope or hawser. Ladders descend from there to behind the side of a lighter on the river, stretching across the full width of the image.
