Posted by @skyfairy_drones Work & play on the sea month Capturing Greta by Goose.

Launched in 1892 'GRETA' is one of the oldest remaining Thames sailing barges left in Britain. Their heyday came at the turn of the 20th century when over 2,000 were on the shipping registry and working in and around the Thames Estuary and the old London Docks. Only thirty barges remain with a few still working as pleasure craft. In 1940 Greta took part in Operation Dynamo to rescue troops from Dunkirk.

You can now have a trip on board 'GRETA' from Whitstable Harbour during the warmer months.

Plan your voyage:
Here are a few key things to know before you set sail on Greta:
~ Bring layers, it can get breezy out on the water
~ Hot drinks served, but you’re welcome to bring your own and pack a picnic
~ We have a full bathroom on board
~ Flat shoes only, decks can be uneven and slippery
~ Boarding involves a near-vertical ladder at the harbour wall

Every trip is different, sometimes calm and sunny, sometimes salty and full of sea spray. Come prepared, and you’ll have a brilliant day out 🌊

We’ve got loads more info on our website, link is in bio

Artist Spotlight: @whiteonesugar
We’re excited to shine a light on the incredible work of local artist White One Sugar, whose bold and beautiful designs capture Greta and her home waters perfectly. From Whitstable’s skyline to the Maunsell Forts, these prints are full of nostalgia, colour, and maritime magic.

🖼️ You can grab their work at etsy.com/shop/whiteonesugar

📸 Are you a local artist, illustrator, or photographer inspired by the sea, the barge, or the coast?
We’d love to connect. Drop us a message if you'd like to be featured or collaborate in future spotlights.
