Sailing Barge - REMINDER (1929)

Tradition has it that after the 1928 Thames Barge Match, Fred Horlock promised his victorious rivals that he would give them a "reminder" of the speed of his barges. The following year 1929, Reminder was launched at Mistley and fulfilled his expectations, becoming Champion barge on the Thames and Medway. Reminder was also one of the last barges built.
