Any Southend local historians here?

Sometime after July 1966 a 28ft motorboat called Superstar operated at Southend offering speedboat trips.

I'd like to find photos of her.

The boat was delivered new to a Mr Rownan of Thames Estuary Marine Motor Services Ltd.

I've seen "Superstar" doing powerboat trips over the years, but it was out of Looe harbor in South Cornwall.

As a long time resident of Southend I remember seeing "Charger" doing the same trips from the small wooden jetty just to the East of the pier back in the day - but not a boat named Superstar unfortunately.

I thought someone would say that. The Superstar in Looe is a Gerald Pearn boat.

Ref Charger, thats news to me. I'll google
