The US Jetfoil

Finally, from June 1977, a 42-knot 110-ton Boeing Jetfoil with a seating capacity of 200 passengers was was tried out on the river and given a license to run a daily service from St Katherine’s Pier to Zeebrugge, taking three-and-a-half hours each way. There were navigational concerns about such large vessels travelling fast in narrow channels and over old tunnels, and the service was suspended.

The Thames Arrow (1972-1973) was a revolutionary Italian design, but the projecting hydrofoil caused problems at the piers.
