Lady Daphne Charlestown Harbour exit

[@bernardmcmahon351]

Visited Charlestown whilst on holiday a few years ago, found it very interesting, there is a little museum there also, the history of the place is amazing. Salford uk

Great video Matthew. Thanks for sharing. Lady Daphne is now on Exchequer Quay in Penryn (Cornwall).

Lady Daphne of Rochester. "The boat that sailed herself" is a chapter in a book of amazing sailing stories by Dick Durham. She is a very historic Tames sailing barge and her history is well worth reading about.

Good seamanship skills !

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

Thanks for sharing this! Isn’t it great watching a difficult job, done by those, that know how to do it? Bravo Zulu, to all involved! Work, & play carefully folks!

[@michaelhill7632]

Incredible manoeuvre. Hats off to all concerned.

[@douglasthompson296]

Suprised to see only 2 rib boats used as tugs, I'm surprised the outboard motors were powerful enough, well-done to all concerned

[@andrewmoorey6103]

Takes very little effort to move even a huge ship about. Just a sustained push.

[@andytaylor206]

Ribs job was mainly to pull our stern round. Daphne was doing most of the work. If no ribs we would've had a long spring to the knuckle to our port which would've done the same thing. As engine is offset to port, when she goes into reverse her stern wants to turn to starboard...

Men on the zodiac are really good 👋😃⛵️🇨🇭

[@ianbrown-zw8pz]

That seemed fairly easy - how on Earth did they manage when using only wind power in the port's heyday? It's always puzzled me because of Charlestown's unusual layout!

[@johnmesser1975]

Horses and manpower on ropes. See St Katherine’s dock in London 😊

[@tonyscriven7771]

Warps

[@johnmesser1975]

@ agreed. And watermen and capstans and…

[@jitendranimkar2582]

मस्त, पाणी साफ आहे.

[@williamfrazier4797]

A nice bit of manoeuvring indeed. Good job!

[@LittleHotels]

Imagine doing that with no inboard motor and no ribs to serve as tugs. Warping all the way.

[@peterweber4094]

How did they maneuver the boat out the harbor in the olden days?

[@SpireUtd]

With great care 😂 no seriously, with ropes (warps) & Capstans, also pulling with boats & pushing with poles & if wind was 'off shore' they'd certainly make use of it. If winds were 'on shore' they'd wait for a favourable wind. Something like that?

[@PaulFisher-uj9vb]

On the bow is the dolly winch above the anchor winch, the line would be attached to a suitable point and the barge warped out if conditions allowed. If the wind was fair the topsail could be set .

[@NeilBarratt]

Ropes. I've seen it done many times in the 1960's and 1970's, and with much bigger boats than this.

[@PaulFisher-uj9vb]

@@NeilBarratt Still done this way at Maldon.

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

With the help of Mermaids, & Dolphins!

[@luidyjosedasilva2961]

👏 Excellent 👏

[@bradcole4693]

Not much steerage at those speeds

[@johngillon6969]

is that the best helmsman they could find?

[@MaidaTezak]

In which Country is this harbour ? M.

[@donfink7063]

Charlestown Harbour, Saint Austell, Cornwall, UK It was built to handle China Clay, however nowadays its a tourist hotspot and it's very often used as a filming location by the Television and Movie industry's, it stands in for docks and harbours all over the UK.
