Gavin Atkin's weblog for the sort of people who like looking inside boat sheds. It's about old boats, traditional boats, boat building, restoration, the sea and the North Kent Coast
Barges and wherries and other working boats originally for carrying cargoes
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,
And mind what you get caught in the mainsheet block, especially if you’ve just announced your intention to marry…
This includes some great footage of fishing from a gun punt, and even better sailing and racing.
My thanks to Otis Luxton!
