Here’s part 1 and 2 of a four part series by Shipping TV’s Chris Gosling. Chris is usually in the port of Felixstowe aboard some of the world’s biggest ships or the tugs that maneuver them, but in this series he brings it back to basics aboard the 1969-built 295 dwt sand barge, Mark Prior, on its daily round trip up the River Thames to Deptford Creek.
We’ll be sure to post part 3 and 4 as a follow-up to this post. Be sure to out Shipping TV on Youtube, Facebook or on the web.
