Memories of a barging life, by Jim Lawrence
Jim Lawrence started his career during the war years when, aged 15, he joined the barge Gladys as the third hand. His first job was to climb the hundred foot mast to put up a new flag. By 19 he had become a skipper in his own right. Jim is a well known raconteur, and in this talk he will relate many of his observations and adventures from the days of trading around the Thames Estuary under sail.
