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.

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

Takes very little effort to move even a huge ship about. Just a sustained push.
@andytaylor2063 ай бұрын
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...

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

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!

How did they maneuver the boat out the harbor in the olden days?
@BelleBlu3 ай бұрын
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-uj9vb3 ай бұрын
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 .

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