S.B. THALATTA

Local studies, adventurous expeditions.

The Thames estuary abounds with things to do and see. Thalatta's educational cruises offer the opportunity for a worthwhile and varied programme of environmental studies. And they give a glimpse back into a vanished age through the memorable experience of living and working aboard the finest of the Thames sailing barges.

Many of our young crews are school groups, and there is ample opportunity to combine adventure with formal learning. An enormous range of topics crops up naturally during your cruise - from estuary ecology, pollution and fisheries, to North Sea trade and ferries, waterside communities, sea defences, rescue services, maritime history and sea safety sense.

Thalatta has a well stocked library and teachers are given every encouragement and help to pursue topics of their choice during the cruise.
