Here's part 3 of the Mark Prior video series, starring Peter Barc!
We've rounded Shoeburyness, passed the mighty Southend Pier, and we're on the home run for central London, aboard Mark Prior, a 295 tonne dwt sand carrier. Join Skipper Peter Barc, mate Fraggles and film-maker Chris Gosling as they give you a run-down on the River Thames. . .
The 4th and final part of this Shipping TV special takes us up to the berth at Brewers Wharf, Deptford Creek, where Mark Prior has to be carefully and skilfully handled to enter her berth.
Then, we're steaming home for a daybreak arrival back at Fingringhoe!
I just had a phone call from your star of the show-El Barco,says all future contact gotta go through his agent !!
Have watched all four episodes of the Mark Priors trip,thankyou for recording and sharing this dying trade;with special thanks to Peter and Fraggies too.
