| 説明 | At the Gloucester Waterways Museum at the Gloucester Docks.The Sabrina Barge.Sabrina Gloucester British Waterways.Sabrina 5 was one of six unpowered barges built in 1944 by Charles Hill & Sons of Bristol for the Ministry of War Transport. During the war, many ships were diverted from London to the west coast ports, and barges were needed to distribute the cargoes quickly. Initially they were managed by the Severn & Canal Carrying Co, and after nationalisation in 1948, they were operated by what became British Waterways. Towed everywhere by tugs, the barges were mainly used for carrying 130 to 150 tons of imports from Avonmouth to Worcester or Stourport via the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and the River Severn. Each barge was crewed by two men, who shared a cabin in the stern under the wheelhouse. The principal cargoes were metals such as copper, zinc, steel and aluminium, and foodstuffs such as wheat, cheese, cocoa beans and tinned tomatoes. Dried fruit was fumigated while on board to kill off any parasites. Occasionally there was an outward cargo, and some trips were made to other ports in the Bristol Channel, but these were rare.Mobile shots - switching between my phone and my main camera (which was on low battery at the time). |
