Red Sails - The History of the Thames Sailing Barges

The film Red Sails explores through interviews and archive footage the influence of the Thames barge in the development of trade, and its contribution to the building of Victorian London. It also looks in detail at the craftsmen and their trades, which made the Thames barges so unique. A few have become barge yachts for chartering, but the Thames barge lives on through the recent restoration of one of the most famous: the Cambria.
