EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the essence of a Thames Sailing Barge, a quintessential part of maritime history on the River Thames in London. Dating back to circa 1903, this flat-bottomed barge with its distinctive leeboards is perfectly adapted to the shallow waters and narrow tributaries of the Thames Estuary. The barge, skillfully depicted by artist Arthur C. Payne, glides effortlessly through the water, its sails billowing in the wind. The Thames Sailing Barge is a type of sailing boat that was once common on the River Thames, with its origins dating back to the 16th century. These boats were ideally suited to the unique conditions of the Thames Estuary, with their shallow draught allowing them to navigate the shallow waters and narrow tributaries that crisscross the estuary. The leeboards, which are extended on each side of the hull to provide stability, were a crucial feature that enabled the barges to remain upright in the shallow waters. Arthur C. Payne's artwork captures the timeless beauty of these boats, which have long since been replaced by more modern vessels. The photograph transports us back in time to an era when these barges were a common sight on the River Thames, plying their trade and contributing to the rich maritime heritage of London. This is a must-have print for anyone with an interest in maritime history, British heritage, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty of traditional boats.
