Tower bridge - Thames Barge

Published:
294 Views

Description

Tower bridge being lifted for the Thames Barge 'Thistle' making its way into Central London.
Although a Thames barge is relatively small, their tall masts and large 'iconic' brown sails made them a very powerful ship. Although usually manned by two people, the ships were capable of crossing vast oceans due to their reliability, to transport goods.
Many of the barges are preserved by groups and society's and are rented out - they are a fairly common sight on the eastern stretches of the Thames and around the East Anglian coast.
