Mayor given Admiral of the River title in traditional Medway cruise
A weekend held every year. A meeting of the Admirals Court followed by beating of the bounds.
Saturday upstream to the Hawkwood Stone. Sunday down to Garrison Point at Sheerness, followed by "refreshments" and on the Sunday a Sunset Ceremony.
A bit of History.

For those still amazingly unaware all the Swans on the upper Medway belong to the Mayor of Maidstone.
