Top > Book Publishers > Shire > Transportation Sailing Barges   In 1900 the majority of British shipping was still under sail. This book is intended as a general introduction to sailing barges – it tells a little of their history, shows the main parts of the modern sailing barge and summarises the activities of the barges and those who sail them today. The south-east coast of England is the barge’s traditional home and mention is made of the barge centres and races. A number of quite rare historical pictures are included.             $11.95
