Sailing Barges at Ipswich - June 1979
Scanned from 8mm cine, filmed by E.J.M. Abbott.
This film, shot on the 29th June 1979, shows various sailing barges in and around Ipswich, including the docks area, the lock and on the river Orwell. A lot of the docks area has been redeveloped since the film so it looks quite different now.

2 Historic Trading Barges, 27 June 17
Coastal and river traffic was a vital part of commerce in the past, and Humber trading barges like Waterdog, built in 1876, and Thames Sailing Barge Repertor, built in 1924, are classic examples of the kind of craft in use.
We were lucky enough to catch them both entering the River Deben, Suffolk, on Tuesday 27th June 2017.

The historic vessel Ena was sailed out to Dunkirk on 31st May 1940 to help with the evacuation but her crew were forced to abandon her in deep waters. British troops without any sailing barge experience were able to board Ena and sail her back to the UK.
