A photogallery stroll on the River Medway at Allington in Kent, including Dutch barges, a Thames barge yacht, various other craft and an Archimedes screw – I must visit with a larger camera some day, as it’s an impressive piece of machinery,
Dutch barges on the Medway, near Allington
interesting … the Sailing Barge Defianace looks like a new build – researching on google – she seems to have been built in 2011 ? hard to tell from the pics – but she looks to be ‘full size’ about 80′ ?
I thought she looked a little smaller than 80ft, but I might easily have been wrong. Good looking boat though…
