Cargo carrying under sail

Not really a modelling subject but one that I hope will be of interest. This week an eco sailing craft, the gaff schooner De Gallant arrived in Queenborough from Colombia and Portugal and off loaded part of her cargo into the sailing barge Dawn who then delivered it to Sittingbourne and Faversham. The goods, mainly small items like honey, wine, olive oil, beans, chocolate, and bags, all promoting trade under sail, were then sold to the general public from stalls on the quayside.

Cheers, Nerys
When the winds before the rain, soon you may make sail again, but when the rain's before the wind, tops'l sheets and halyards mind
