This was the first book about Thames Barges, now back in print after 100 years, with much additional material and the original secret locations and craft revealed. Hailed as a classic work of literature, this beautifully produced and bound book is available only in a hand numbered limited edition of 500 copies of which just a handful remain.
‘No author describes the tides or the nature of light on water better than Ionides. This book is produced to a quality rare and elusive in publishing today.’

‘Fine writing and beautifully produced, this is too good to miss. If any book deserves the epithet ‘classic’ this one certainly does.’
