snip ---Bob Roberts (the last of the sailing barge captains),---

Just a little correction to that - Bob was the skipper of the 'Cambria' - the last Thames Sailing Barge barge trading under sail ALONE - there were quite a few more still in trade after Bob sold the Cambria, but they were auxilliary or motor barges. There are quite a few barges still sailng at present - mostly on charter work, a few in private ownership.
