This page is one of a series devoted to postcards and photographs of the navigable sections of the River Thames. This page covers the Henley-on-Thames to Reading section, taken on board Salter Brothers' launch Oxford (2), on 1st June 2005.
 
Oxford (2) was built by Salter Brothers in 1921, and remains in the 2005 fleet. She became diesel powered, but her steam engine is still in service in Nuneham. Oxford (2) is 85ft long, and currently carries 199 passengers. In May 2005, Oxford(2) was based in Marlow, running trips to Henley-on-Thames at 1:30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, following two short trips from Marlow. On Monday and Friday she runs a longer return trip to Windsor, leaving at 9:30am. Further short trips from Marlow are run at weekends.
