Last of the Sailormen

'Sailormen' was the name by which the barge men of old referred to their vessels. Their tanned sails filling out in the breeze, their tall spars towering above other craft, the Thanes barges were a familiar sight plying between London docks and the creeks and rivers of the cast and the Medway. These were the last sailing vessels to carry a commercial cargo, and the last of all was the Cambria, skippered by Bob Roberts. Bob recaptures the life of bygone era.
