Description

In the 1930s, hundreds of barges sailed the crowded waters of the Thames estuary carrying up to 100 tons of every sort of cargo - wheat and barley, coal, gun powder, cement and gravel.

These remarkable craft were worked by a crew of two - skipper and mate.

Here, the shipmate tells his story.
