SAILING BARGE 'CAMBRIA' -
THE LAST UK VESSEL TO CARRY A CARGO UNDER SAIL

Work is proceeding on the complete restoration of CAMBRIA at Dolphin Yard, as a joint project between the Dolphin Sailing Barge Musem Trust which runs Dolphin Yard, and the associated CAMBRIA Restoration Project. CAMBRIA is a handsome vessel and has always attracted interest since the day of her launch in 1906. She has been the subject of a number of books and television programmes and is a fine example to choose for complete restoration and preservation. A primary aim of the restoration is to ensure that an example of the Thames Sailing Barge is regularly open to public view. The barge yard facilities at Dolphin Yard will help ensure the restoration of the vessel and provide for her continued maintenance on a day-to-day basis

Once restored it is hoped the CAMBRIA will continue to be accessible to the public, moored alongside Dolphin Yard and will also be sailed by youth and community groups. Further information from CAMBRIA TRUST
